Carlson Doubles through Formosa

Wayne Carlson just earned a bit of extra breathing room after winning a race to double up, courtesy of former chip leader David Formosa.

Carlson opened the pot with a raise to 100,000 from the cutoff, Formosa reraised enough to put Carlson all in and a call was made:

Carlson: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Formosa: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board then filled out {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Carlson took down the pot with a pair of queens.

After the hand, Formosa dropped to right around one million in chips while Carlson improved to 650,000.
