After jostling back and forth for a dozen or so hands, Carl Carodenuto and Rich Alsup just played a big one.

It began when Carodenuto raised to 215,000 from the button and Alsup three-bet all in for 2.3 million. Carodenuto paused for a few beats, shrugged his shoulders as he’s prone to do, and then said, “Call.”

Carodenuto:
Alsup:

Alsup was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but he was drawing to two live cards. He managed to pair one on the flop, and the turn brought him one step closer to a double. That is when the spiked on the river to give Carodenuto a historic third win!

Rich Alsup – Eliminated in 2nd Place for $68,919
