Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kyle Cartwright
Kyle Cartwright

Kyle Cartwright raised to 160,000 preflop from the cutoff. From the button, Randall Rothwell three-bet to 350,000, which caused everyone else to fold their hands.

Action was back on Cartwright who thought for a few moments before jamming all in. Rothwell thought for about 15 seconds before calling.

Cartwright was ahead as he had the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} against the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Rothwell.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Cartwright got a big double.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Jones led out with a bet of 180,000 and Champlin called. The turn was the {8-Clubs}. Jones checked. Champlin thought for quite a while before slowly checking back.

The river came the {10-Clubs}. Jones thought for a while before putting out two stacks of chips for a big bet to 600,000. Champlin rubbed his head with a wry smile on his face and laid it down after about 30 seconds.

"Nice play" he said to Jones, who took in the pot.
