Heavyweights Battle Again

Level 4 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ben Tollerene and Jake Schindler battled heads-up on the final table of Event #5 yesterday, and they have found themselves seated next to each other again today. Both players have run up a stack early on and clashed in another big pot.

There was around 15,000 in the middle and the flop read {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. David Peters checked from the big blind and Schindler bet 9,000 in the cutoff. Tollerene called and Peters let his hand go.

The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and Schindler checked this time, allowing Tollerene to take the lead in the hand with a bet of 15,000. Schindler made the call and the {2-Clubs} peeled off on the river.

Schindler checked again and Tollerene fired another 30,000. Schindler used up one of his time extensions before making the call after a full 90 seconds. Tollerene tabled {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a set of threes and Schindler mucked his cards with a smile on his face.
