Slow Pace Until Little Doubled Up

By: Tony Berns

Heads-up action has been slow. With the big names exiting the tournament, many audience members have fled as well from the Event Center here at Mirage. Still, the two young guns go at each other like they’ve been around the felt for years.

Slow and patient they’ve played, taking turns taking down pots. Until…

Little pushed all-in with his [5c5d] and was called by Carroll’s [Ad8s]. When Little’s small pair made a boat on the river as the third ten fell, he doubled up and took the chip lead vs Carroll.

Since taking the lead, Little has applied pressure stealing the blinds more regularly.
