Tokko Takes Velkuru's Tournamnet Life
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mustapha Tokko opened to 11,000 from early position and was called by the lojack and Sandeep Velkuru in the big blind.
When the flop came out 4♥3♦2♣, Velkuru led-jammed for 93,000 and Tokko shipped for more while the other player got out of the way.
Velkuru flipped over 10♠10♦ and was ahead against the A♦K♦ of Tokko. Unfortunately for him, the turn A♠ immediately gave Tokko the upper hand with his ace and the river 6♠ sealed Velkuru's fate. The pot was then shipped over to Tokko to boost his stack to over 250,000 while Velkuru was sent to the rail.
