Torres Hanging On

Billy "The Croc" Argyros raised to 600 from the hijack and found callers in both blinds. The small blind is Victorino Torres who just happens to be a past champion from this event in Season 4. Of course Argyros, a member of the Australian Poker Hall of Fame and a winner APPT Melbourne last year is no slouch himself.

With three people to the [ 8h3c10s] flop, the action began with Torres checking. The player in the big blind bet 1,500 which was enough to get Argyros to fold. Torres made the call and the two blinds saw the turn. Both players checked and both checked again on the river. Torres turned over and his opponent mucked his hand.
