Christopher Carey

STUD HI-LO

Christopher Carey had been multi-tabling between this final table and the final flight of Event 1, running back-and-forth between tables.

Unfortunately, Carey busted from Event 1, and returned to the final table during a round of Stud Hi-Lo to play a hand that would see him go from two tournaments to none in just a matter of minutes.

Carey played his next hand against Mihails Morozovs.

Heading into the final card, Carey had two pair, eights and deuces, and was drawing to an 8-7 low. Carey needed to improve to stay alive against Morozovs’ trip fives and 8-5 low draw.

Both players received a second ace for their final card, so neither player made a qualifying low. Carey finished with two pair, aces and eights, and Morozovs won the pot with fives full of aces to eliminate Carey in sixth place.
