Tollerene the First to Fall But Promptly Reenters
Ben Tollerene was never able to recover after losing a big pot to Phil Ivey in Level 1; in fact, the online pro just became the first casualty of the tournament.
It happened when he opened for 1,400 from the cutoff and Fedor Holz pushed back with a three-bet to 4,600 from the small blind. Tollerene made the call and then called a bet of 3,300 on the 
flop. After the dealer burned and turned 
, Holz led out for 9,500 and Tollerene called.
The 
river saw Holz toss out two green T25,000 chips for a bet of 50,000, and Tollerene thought for a bit before calling off for 38,000 or so. Holz tabled the 
for top pair, and it was good as Tollerene showed the 
before exiting the stage.
Fortunately for Tollerene, this is a reentry event and he immediately opted to pony up another AU$100,000 to get back in action. Interestingly, he's back at the feature table, though this time in Seat 8.
