James Carroll

We caught the action with the board out to the turn reading KsQs8dAc and James Carroll checked from the big blind. Josh Mountain was on the button, moved all in for ~275,000 and Carroll dropped in a stack of 25K chips to call.

Carroll: 8s8h
Mountain: JdTs

Carroll flopped a set of eights, Mountain turned a Broadway straight and needed it to hold. Mountain’s bad news came on the Qd river, pairing the board to give Carroll a full house eights over queens to send Mountain out near the bubble.

James Carroll – 2,060,000 (258 bb)
Josh Mountain – Eliminated
