Carden Curbs Ortega
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Joseph Carden and Jacques Ortega were already at the turn with a 8?Q?J?9? board when Ortega had bet around 1,000,000 into a 1,000,000 pot. Carden raised to 1,695,000, forcing Ortega to go all in if he found a call.
Ortega stood from the table and deliberated the decision for a while before moving a stack of chips in to call.
Jacques Ortega: 8?8?
Joseph Carden: A?10?
Ortega was sitting with a set of eights which he had hit on the flop, but Carden was ahead with the straight, which he had made on the turn.
The river came the 2? which didn't improve Ortega, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
