Torelli First to Advance

[user38449]

Alec Torelli has just moved past Scott Montgomery and earned himself a spot in the 'elite eight.'

Montgomery's demise occurred over the course of two hands. The first of which saw Torelli move all in for 188,000 on a flop of {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{8-Spades}

with ~140,000 already in the middle. Scott had Alec covered by just 10,000 and made the call with {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

; Torelli showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

for the nut flush draw and two overs.

The {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

came on the turn, further strengthening Montgomery's grip on the hand, but the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

on the river completed Torelli's flush and left Scott crippled.

Moments later, Scott moved in for his last 10,000 holding {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

and Alec looked him up with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

. A

{4-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{A-Spades}

board fell in favor of Torelli, sending Montgomery to the rail early in Round 6.
