Tollerene Cops a Bad One

Olivier Busquet opened the action with a raise to 26,000 from the cutoff before Mike Sowers moved all in from the button for 204,000 in total.

The action then passed to Ben Tollerene in the big blind who made the call as Busquet got out of the way.

Tollerene: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Sowers: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} giving Sowers a running broadway straight to find a miraculous double up. He's up to 440,000 with Tollerene left shaking his head with 150,000 chips.
