Toler Doubles Through Noel
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 600 ante
Cecil Toler made it 2,500 from middle position to start the hand. Robert Noel responded with a three-bet to 7,000 on the button. Toler was having none of it, and he chose to go all-in for 11,800. Noel called and put Toler at risk.
Cecil Toler: A♦10♦
Robert Noel: Q♥Q♦
Toler was well behind, but he had a suited ace working for him as they went to a runout.
The diamonds would be crucial, as the flop smacked Toler's hand when it fanned out J♦4♦6♦ to give him the nut flush and a near lock on the hand.
The 3♥ sealed the deal in favor of Toler as the inconsequential 5♣ hit the river. Toler scored the double, but Noel could afford the hit as his stack was still very healthy despite the loss.
