Ugly Double Elimination for Carron and Mutrie

Daniel Kowalski
Daniel Kowalski
With all of the cooler hands we've seen so far in this tournament, what's another one on the bubble? Daniel Kowalski got things started, raising to 70,000, which was enough to put Patrick Carron all in. Carron called, only to see Eric Mutrie move all in behind him for 110,000. Kowalski called both raises as the spectators crowded around the table to watch the massive pot play out.

Kowalski: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Carron: {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}
Mutrie: {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

Kowalski was roughly a sixty percent favorite to win the hand and knock out two players. The roars of the crowd told the story on the flop, however. It came {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} to make a set for both Carron and Mutrie. There were still cards to come, and damn if the turn wasn't the {K-Hearts} to make a set of Kowalski's own! There was no miracle for Carron or Mutrie on the river; it fell {6-Hearts}. Kowalski dragged a massive 375,000-chip pot while Carron and Mutrie retired to the rail.
