Flopped Boat For Carrel

There is an interesting starting table that we'll keep our eye on during the opening stages of Day 1a because it's the home of three well-known players who could have a significant influence over where the title eventual heads.

Irish legend Donnacha O'Dea has been a regular for years in the biggest tournaments in the world, and he's sat with Charlie Carrel and Craig McCorkell, both of whom are among the best poker talent in the world today.

Carrel and McCorkell clashed a few moments ago when the former raised to 300 on the button; McCorkell called in the small blind, and the big blind came along for the ride.

The action checked to Carrel on the flop, Carrel bet 500, and only McCorkell called.

McCorkell check-called a 500 bet on the turn, before check-calling a 1,500 bet on the river. Carrel showed for a flopped full house, and McCorkell mucked.
