When the players returned from the break prior to level 32, Raymond Carter had the chip lead, but after a series of difficult hands, he found himself at the bottom of the chip table when the decisive hand came along.
The hand was a blind-on-blind with Julio Cacoilo opening with a raise to 575K, which was met by Ray’s shove for just over 3.5M in chips. Julio made the call and the hands were exposed.
