James Carroll Doubles Up
Dec 21, '19
In a battle between the button and the small blind, James Carroll found himself all-in holding K K against the A J of his opponent.
The flop of A82 put him at risk, but he made the nut flush with the 5 on the turn. The inconsequential river card was the 6 and Carroll doubled up his 36,300 to about 74,000.

Mike Del Vecchio Doubles Through James Carroll
Dec 15, '18
 Mike Del Vecchio and James Carroll found themselves in a preflop raising war that resulted in two all-ins.
Carroll held pocket queens, but he was in bad shape against Del Vecchio’s pocket kings. The dealer put out a board of 65248, and the stacks were counted down.
Del Vecchio was all in for 99,000, meaning he doubled to just over 200,000. Carroll was left with just 16,000, or eight big blinds.

Ray Qartomy Knocks Out James Carroll
Mar 18, '13
 James Carroll, the tournament’s one-time chip leader, has been eliminated.
Ray Qartomy, winner of a CPPT Wynn Classic preliminary event, was nice enough to give us the details on the break.
In a four-way limped pot, everyone checked on a flop of 4-4-3. Qartomy then bet 2,600 when an Ace hit the turn.
One opponent called, as did James Carroll. The river was a King and Qartomy bet once again. He was called and then Carroll moved all in for the last of his stack, approximately 14,500.
Qartomy moved all in behind him and was called by the other player in the hand as well, who held A-K. Carroll held 2-5 for a turned straight, but Qartomy’s A-4 made a full house, giving him a new stack of 84,500.

James Carroll Wins Massive Pot To Take The Chip Lead
Mar 18, '13
 We walked up to the table on a flop of 10 9 8. Larry Wright led out for 1,400 and was called by the player in the 2 seat.
James Carroll then called before the player in the 5 seat raised. The 6 seat called and Wright folded. The 2 seat then pot committed himself by raising to 12,200 and Carroll moved all in for approximately 26,000.
The 5 seat decided to move all in over the top and the 6 seat folded what he later claimed was two pair after a few minutes in the tank. The 2 seat called off the remainder of his chips and the cards were turned over.
Carroll held QJ for the nut straight with a flush draw, but his hand was vulnerable against the 2 seat’s A 5. The 5 seat flopped a straight with 7 6, but was drawing dead to a chop.
The turn and river came 5 J and Carroll won the pot, giving him 86,000 in chips.

All three check to the turn of 7 and Carroll bets 2,500. Martov and Schulman fold and Carroll is now seated with about 28,500.
