Toma Survives With a Lucky Chop
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Tsugunari Toma attempted to raise all in without realizing Biao Ding had yet to act. Ding eventually folded, then Toma put his last 475,000 back in the middle from early position.
The table folded around to Erik Seidel in the big blind who snap-called.
Tsugunari Toma: K♠Q♦
Erik Seidel: A♥K♦
Seidel had Toma dominated and at risk as both players hit top pair on the K♣10♠7♥ flop. The K♥ turn gave both players trips but Seidel was still ahead with his ace-kicker heading to the river, which came the 10♥.
Toma loudly clapped his hands and ran away from the table as he and Seidel made the same full house to chop the pot. "Why not queen," he joked as he returned to the table.
