Carrel Doubles in "Incredible Hand"
"This hand is incredible" whispered Jason Wheeler who had gotten up from the table while the confrontation between Yu and Carrel was still in progress. Here's what Wheeler told us had happened.
Kevin MacPhee raised to 9,000 under the gun and Winfred Yu right next to him made the call. Charlie Carrel over called from the cutoff before Pratyush Buddiga squeezed to 35,000 from the big blind. The suqeeze was reason enough for MacPhee to fold but Yu made the call once more.
Action was now on Carrel in the cutoff and he shoved for 272,000 total. Buddiga mucked his cards but Yu wasn't willing to do the same just yet. The player from Hong Kong tanked for a bit before he called.
Charlie Carrel: 
Winfred Yu: 
The board ran out 
and Carrel doubled up, leaving Yu with just around 180,000.
