Clint Tolbert

Jonathan Tamayo raised to 130,000 in first position, and Clint Tolbert three-bet to 275,000 from the small blind. Tamayo tanked for a bit, four-bet to 530,000, and Tolbert responded with a five-bet shove for 2.2 million. Tamayo looked at his cards one more time, then called.

Tamayo: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Tolbert: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Tolbert was crushed, but the {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop gave him a plethora of outs to double up. The {2-Diamonds} turned, giving Tolbert a flush and ending the hand. A meaningless {2-Clubs} bricked off on the river, and Tolbert doubled to around 4.45 million chips.

Tamayo has roughly 3.35 million.

Four-Bet From Tamayo

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Clint Tobert was under the gun and opened to 125,000. William Looper peered at his cards and then announced a three-bet to 280,000. Jonathan Tamayo was next to act and cut out a four-bet to 685,000. Mark Rose and Tolbert quickly released, but it took Looper about forty-five seconds to let go of his hand.

Tamayo dragged the pot and now has about 3.6 million in chips.

Flush Over Flush on the River

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Mark Rose doubles
Mark Rose doubles

Clint Tolbert was first to act, and he put in a raise to 100,000. Mark Rose defended in the big blind, and the dealer spread {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Rose checked, Tolbert continued for 150,000, and Tolbert called.

The turn was the suicide king ({k-Hearts}), and both players knuckled.

The {9-Hearts} completed the board, and Rose checked a third time. Tolbert assembled a few blue T100,000 chips, added three yellow T25,000 chips, and plopped forward 375,000. Rose announced, "all in," making it 1.105 million, and Tolbert instantly called.

Rose flipped over {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nuts.

"God!" Tolbert blurted, flashing {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a lesser flush.

Rose doubled to 2.71 million chips, while Tolbert dropped down to around 3.8 million.

Looper-Scooper

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Clint Tolbert made it 125,000 from the small blind and William Looper called from the big blind. The flop brought {5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Tolbert led for 120,000. Looper dipped into his stack and came out with a raise to 285,000.

Tolbert then sat motionless for a moment before coming right back over the top with a three-bet to 495,000. Looper riffled his chips and pondered his decision for a moment. The flop action was kept going after Looper decided to make a four-bet to an unknown amount. Tolbert quickly released and Looper took down the pot.

Two Hands Before Break and Full Counts

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Mark Rose opened to 120,000 in the cutoff seat, William Looper three-bet to 285,000 from the small blind, and Rose made the call. The flop fell {j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}, both players checked, and the turn was the {a-Clubs}. The two checked again.

The {10-Spades} completed the board, and Looper led out for 130,000. Rose tank-called.

"Six," Looper announced, prompting Rose to rip over {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines.

A few hands later, Jonathan Tamayo opened in first position and Rose called on the button. The dealer fanned {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Tamayo continued for 180,000, and Rose called. The turn was the {5-Hearts}, both players checked, and the {3-Diamonds} completed the board. Tamayo tossed out 360,000, and Rose tank-called.

Tamayo tabled {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a rivered pair of threes, and Rose flashed {a-}{j-} before tossing his hand into the muck.

Ring Around the Rosie

Level 32 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Mark Rose opened in first position, Jonathan Tamayo defended his big blind, and both players checked when the flop came {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, Tamayo checked again, and Rose fired 160,000. Tamayo called.

The {9-Hearts} completed the board, Tamayo checked a final time, and Rose tossed out 260,000. Tamayo shrugged then called, and Rose revealed {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks.

They were good.

William Looper Eliminated in 4th Place ($69,536)

Level 32 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
William Looper - 4th Place
William Looper - 4th Place

Clint Tolbert opened the action by raising to 160,000 from under the gun. William Looper peeked at his cards on the button and cut out a three-bet to 360,000. The blinds folded and Tolbert tanked for thirty seconds before announcing that he was all in. Looper heaved a sigh and dropped in a call for his tournament life.

Tolbert: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Looper: {J-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Looper was ahead at the moment but was racing with Tolbert's overcards. The flop brought even more outs for Tolbert when it fell {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}. The {7-Spades} on the turn gave Tolbert the ace-high flush and he skyrocketed into the lead in the hand.

Looper needed to catch a full house on the river to earn victory in this hand but the deck had a different idea. The river brought the {10-Clubs} and Tolbert was able to score the elimination. He now has about 5.7 million in chips.

Looper, on the other hand, will pocket a cool $69,536 for his efforts this weekend.

The river was the {9-Hearts}, both players checked again, and Rose turned over {a-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a pair of fours. Tolbert mucked his hand, and Rose raked in the pot.
