Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

Craig Varnell raised to 2,400 from under the gun and Ben Tollerene, who was next to act, three-bet to 8,400. Action folded back around to Varnell and he called.

The two players saw a flop of {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and they both checked.

The {A-Hearts} fell on the turn and Varnell checked. Tollerene bet 15,000 and Varnell called.

The river brought the {4-Hearts} and Varnell checked. Tollerene bet again, 45,000 this time, sending Varnell into the tank. He cut out calling chips and moved them into the middle after about half a minute. Tollerene tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for top two pair, Varnell mucked, and Tollerene took the pot to put his stack over the 300,000-chip mark.
