A huge hand on stream between chip leader Danilo Velasevic and Ben Tollerene has caused some early fireworks on Day 2 of the $25k Titi Poker.
The action folded round to both players in the blinds and Tollerene in the small blind limped for 30,000 with K♣10♣, while Velasevic checked his 8♣4♣.
The 8♠10♦8♦ flop meant Velasevic took a big lead, but with top pair Tollerene had more than enough interest to make a 30,000 bet, which Velasevic called.
The A♦ turn was checked by Tollerene. Velasevic bet 120,000 and Tollerene made the call. The action card of the deck completed the board as the 10♠ came out.
Tollerene opted to slow-play his tens-full by checking, and it worked as the chip leader moved all-in with his eights-full. Tollerene snapped and secured a big early double on Day 2.
It's time for moving day in the $25k Titi Poker, and it looks set to be a cracker.
Some of the biggest names in the history of poker are still in this one and today we'll have the bubble burst and a much better idea of the final few who will be left to play for the first million-dollar prize of the series tomorrow!

The Titi Poker event attracted 210 entries to create a $5,250,000 prize pool, with 52 players returning for Day 2. Danilo Velasevic leads the way with 2,760,000 chips, followed by Khoa Anh Ngo (2,595,000) and Joe Hindry (2,410,000).
There is plenty of star power still in the field, too, with Phil Ivey, Ben Tollerene, Adrian Mateos, Isaac Haxton, and Wai Kiat Lee among those still chasing the title.
With $1,090,000 awaiting the winner, the stakes are only getting higher here in Jeju as the field plays down towards the final table and the latest Triton champion.
And if anyone needed a reminder just how special winning a Triton is, just ask Klemens Roiter. The Austrian star captured his maiden trophy on the tour yesterday, the first of many, no doubt.
