White's Stack Continues to Grow
Aug 01, '14
Allen Carter, Jackson White, and a third player took a flop of 555 in a raised pot. The unknown player led the action with a bet of 6,000. Carter called only to have White raise it up to 13,500 from the button. The original bettor let his hand go and Carter called.
The 7 fell on the turn and both players checked, allowing the 10 to complete the board. Carter checked for a second time and White knuckled the table back.
“Ace-high,” said Carter.
It was no good, however, as White tabled 33 for a full house of fives full of treys. White took down the pot and now has about 170,000 in chips. Despite this hit, Carter is still sitting pretty with around 335,000.

Carter and Crosley Clash
Aug 01, '14
On a board of 8A84, Quentin Crosley fired out a bet of 3,500 and Allen Carter called to see fifth street.
The dealer produced the Q on the river and Crosley flung 3,000 past the betting line. Carter thought for a moment before flat calling.
“Just an ace,” said Crosley as he rolled over A5.
Carter had that beat, however, with 98 for trip eights. He raked in the chips and now has about 305,000 to Crosley’s 195,000.

Allen Carter Eliminated in 9th Place ($16,978)
Aug 03, '14
After a series of bets and raises, Allen Carter was all in and at risk before the flop for his last 262,000 against Tyler Morris.
Carter: J3
Morris: AJ
Morris was in a dominating position going to the flop, but that quickly changed after the dealer fanned 3Q9 on the felt, pairing Carter’s trey and giving him the lead. The 7 rolled off on fourth street, meaning Morris needed an ace on the river to score the elimination.
The river was indeed the A, eliciting gasps from the duo’s tablemates. Carter was eliminated in 9th place and Morris increased his chips to about 900,000.
