Ben Tollerene opened to 170,000 on the button and Stephen Chidwick jammed it all in from the big blind. Tollerene double-checked his holding and called.

Tollerene: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Tollerene flopped a near lock as he hit a set on {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The turn was a {q-Diamonds}, bringing faint hope for the British star. However, a {5-Hearts} was not what he was looking for on the river.

Plesuv Empties the Clip

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

In a limped pot, Ben Tollerene bet 100,000 on the {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop and Pavel Plesuv check-raised to 310,000. It was the second time he'd done so in a few hands, and this time, Tollerene decided to see a turn. It was the {a-Clubs} and Tollerene called a bet of 375,000. On the {j-Hearts} river, Plesuv shoved for about 1.4 million and won without a showdown.
