Ask any group of poker players how you played your hand and they’ll come up with dozens of different opinions. That’s just the nature of the game.

Each week, Card Player will select a hand from the high-stakes, big buy-in poker world, break it down and show that there’s more than one way to get the job done.

The Hand

At the PokerStars Championship Bahamas $100,000 super high roller event, sitting on more than a 3:1 chip lead heads-up, Jason Koon limped in on the button and Charlie Carrel checked his option from the big blind. The flop came down KQ2 and Carrel checked.

Koon checked behind and the turn was the 8. Again, both players checked. The river was the J and Carrel bet 400,000.

Koon then moved all in, leaving Carrel with a decision to make for his final 2,410,000 in chips, worth about 20 big blinds. Eventually, Carrel called off the rest of his stack, showing down K7. Koon turned over Q8, however, for two pair and the winning hand.

The Questions

What do you think of Koon’s preflop limp? What about his check on the flop with second pair? What about his turn check with two pair? Should Carrel have bet the flop with his top pair in an unraised pot? Should he have bet the turn? Was it wise for him to disguise the strength of his hand? Can Carrel realistically get away from his hand on the river? What hands are in Koon’s range that Carrel can beat?

The Aftermath

Carrel’s elimination in second place was still worth a whopping $1,191,900, the second largest score of his career. The young Brit now has just over $5 million in career live tournament earnings.

Koon picked up $1,650,300 for the victory, continuing a hot streak that started last summer and saw him finish 17th in the 2016 Card Player Player of the Year race. The West Virginia native now has $8.1 million in career live tournament earnings.

This week, the UK TV show “How’d You Get So Rich” gave a unique insight into the life of one of the country’s top poker players, Charlie Carrel. Apparently, the Londoner has always enjoyed an affinity for maths, and after depositing £10 at an online poker site aged 18, he then became adept at the game and now aged 22 has amassed more than $5,246,549 in winnings.
Elaborating further on his path to success, Carrel said being a maths geek lacking social skills meant that he attracted the attention of bullies at school, resulting in him shunning a social life in favor of countless hours playing poker. As he explains:
“I had no life for a very long time. For about eight months I was playing 16 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Nevertheless, it was only after he turned his focus on the live tournament game that his career really took off, and after three small cashes in 2014, he eventually closed out the year with victory at the £2,125 GUKPT Main Event Grand Final for £108,625 ($170,950). The following year, Carrel then claimed the €25,500 Monte Carlo High Roller for €1,114,000 ($1,241,682), and he has since enjoyed continued success with his latest huge score coming after finishing runner-up at the 2017 PSC Bahamas $100k Super High Roller for $1,191,900.
Carrel is currently ranked number 6 on England’s ‘All Time Money List’ with his annual earnings as follows; 2014 ($186,221), 2015 ($1,509,380), 2016 ($2,123,646), and 2017 ($1,427,302). However, he says that he has no ” emotional attachment to money” and in the past has enjoyed spending money on his friends. As he explains:
“I always told myself and my friends if I won something big I was going to take them to Amsterdam, and it was the most insane trip I have ever had. We barely left the hotel because it was so amazing, and I spent an amount of money I would not like to say. But we had what all of us have described as the best time of our lives. It was worth it for the memories.”
