Tolbert Bets Out White

Josh_Cahlik

With the flop reading {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} , Ben White checked from the big blind to Clint Tolbert who checked behind on the button.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and White took this opportunity to bet 29,000. Tolbert decided to raise, however, and made it 79,000 to go. White called and the {K-Diamonds} struck the turn.

White checked and Tolbert moved 128,000 into the middle. White tanked for about two minutes before finally getting rid of his hand. With this win, Tolbert is now sitting at roughly 410,000 while White has fallen to 230,000.

Sands checked it to Hall who bet 36,000. A call from Sands led to similar action on the {8-Hearts} turn when he check-called 71,000 from Hall. The {6-Clubs} hit the river and Sands checked to Hall for a third time. Hall put together a bet of about 210,000 and Sands quickly folded.
