Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ben Tollerene opened to 22,000 from under the gun and Elijah Berg three-bet to 82,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Tollerene shipped all in for 301,000. Berg tabled his hand before even making the call, but there was no doubt as he held {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. When Tollerene looked up to see his opponent's hand, all he could do was sigh.

Tollerene tabled {a-Spades}{8-Spades} and would need a lot of help. The flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} gave Tollerene a chance and the {10-Spades} on the turn locked it up. Tollerene would double up and Berg was left with around 200,000 chips.

In the very next hand, Berg was seen getting up from his seat. He informed us that he got all of his chips in the middle with {a-}{q-} and ran into Tollerene's pocket jacks. Berg could not connect with the board was sent to the rail.
