Torello Sails With A Boat

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Angelo Torello
Angelo Torello

Angelo Torello called in early position and two players behind him called including one player in the hijack.

The flop of {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} saw action check to the player in the hijack who bet 1,200 and was only called by Torello.

The turn of {7-Diamonds} checked through to the {a-Diamonds} that saw Torello bet 10,500 and his opponent called. Torello turned over {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for sixes-full of sevens and took down a rather large pot.

CJ Peake
CJ Peake

Mikhaile Richards raised to 900 under the-gun and was called by CJ Peake in the small blind and another player in the big blind.

The flop of {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} was checked around to the {k-Spades} turn that saw action check to Richards who bet 1,500 which was called by Peake only.

The river came out the {4-Diamonds} and Peake led out for 5,000 which sent Richards into the tank. After only about 20 seconds she tossed her hand away, ceding the pot to Peake.

Ralph Massey

A player in late position opened to 1,000 and was flatted by one player in the hijack.

In the cutoff, Ralph Massey three-bet to 4,000 and the initial raiser folded. The hijack player thought about his decision for a bit before, ultimately tapping the table, flashing {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, and ceding the pot to Massey.

Another section of the tournament opened up and one of those going to their new seat was Angelo Torello.
