Tollefson Gets Lucky to Stay Alive
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Action folded to Taylor Tollefson in the cutoff and he moved all in for 61,500, which Frank Galilei called from the button. The blinds both folded and Tollefson discovered the bad news.

Galilei: 
Tollefson was in trouble and in desperate need of an ace, which he found when the flop came down 
. The 
turn gave him two pair, and all he needed to do was dodge a jack on the river to survive, which is exactly what he did when the 
blanked.
