Paul Squared

It feels like we're seeing more all-ins than flops at the moment, as the dude on the microphone summons the cameras over for yet another showdown.

This time, the man with his tournament life on the line was Paul Lefestey, the popular Irishman short-stacked, but with two live cards in {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} versus the {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The {2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop improved his chances of survival dramatically, but after a {9-Hearts} turn, a bullet ({A-Hearts}) hit the river to shoot down any dreams Lefestey had of lifting the trophy.

As a result, Carr climbs up to 275,000.
