Chip and a Chair for Toma
Level 5
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On the tail end of a pot between Guram Andronikashvili and Tsugunari Toma, the former was in the big blind. The completed board showed 
and Andronikashvili eyeballed the stack of his opponent before making it 30,000 to go. Toma needed one time bank extension and called to then muck when his opponent revealed the 
for a set of fives.
One hand later, Dimitar Danchev raised to 4,000 from under the gun and Toma got the last 11,000 in for Danchev to call.
Tsugunari Toma: 
Dimitar Danchev: 
Despite a sweat with two live cards and an open-ended straight draw until the 
turn, Toma prevailed thanks to a blank 
on the river.
