Toothpick Tony Takes a Hit

[user92162]

Toothpick Tony has work to do now

Popular player Antonis "Toothpick Tony" Kambouris has taken a sizable hit to his stack. Kambouris in the small blind and John Paul Kelly in late position both called a preflop raise from Tom Pongrass. They took a {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{q-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

flop that saw Kambouris check to Pongrass, who fired out a bet of 20,000, Kelly called, and then Kambouris moved all in. Pongrass' snap-call all in obviously tipped off Kelly, who folded his hand and the players tabled their cards.

Pongrass with {q-Hearts}

{q-Hearts}

{q-Spades}

for top set.
Kambouris with {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

for bottom set.

Kambouris would be drawing to the case {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

to win the hand, but the turn {j-Hearts}

{j-Hearts}

and river

{10-Clubs}

were not the card he needed, so Kambouris drops to 70,000. Pongrass dragged a 320,000 pot.
