Ben Tollerene Eliminated in 23rd Place ($13,368); Sean Getzwiller Advances!

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Ben Tollerene - 23rd Place
Ben Tollerene - 23rd Place

With the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades} we found Ben Tollerene shoving his last 121,500 into the pot from the big blind against Sean Getzwiller.

Getzwiller contemplated for a while before eventually making the call and tabling his {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Tollerene shook his head and tabled his {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for an elaborate bluff to fall in 23rd place while earning $13,368 in the process.

As Getzwiller secures his second WSOP final table for the series after winning Event #8: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, he detailed to us that Tollerene kept barrelling into him - including a 40,000-chip bet on the turn - before eventually falling one place shy of a WSOP final table berth.

Seidel Doubles Through Frey

Erik Seidel raised to 7,000 from the button and Kyle Frey went all-in for 104,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Seidel called off his remaining 60,000.

Seidel: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Frey: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

"Nice hand," Frey offered to Seidel.

The {J-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} board was safe for Seidel and he doubled up to about 130,000.

Frey is down to his last 40,000.

Gareth Teatum Eliminated in 24th Place ($13,368)

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Gareth Teatum - 24th Place
Gareth Teatum - 24th Place

A short-stacked Gareth Teatum has just been eliminated by Justin Bonomo after a preflop raising war saw Teatum all in from the small blind.

Teatum: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Bonomo: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

With a classic coin-flip on the cards, the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop put Bonomo squarely in the lead. However ZeeJustin wasn't content with that, and was happy for the overkill as the turn and river ran out the {A-Hearts} and {A-Clubs} to end Teatum's tournament in 24th place.

Home Country Battle Sees Akenhead Fire Brutal Bullet

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Toby Lewis slips against fellow countryman James Akenhead
Toby Lewis slips against fellow countryman James Akenhead

James Akenhead opened the button to 6,000 only to have Toby Lewis three-bet the small blind. The action returned to Akenhead who pushed for 143,500 and Lewis made the call.

Lewis: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Akenhead: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The board was spread {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to see Akenhead win this battle of the Brits as he doubles to 292,000 while leaving Lewis on just 42,000 in chips.

Marc Inizan Eliminated in 25th Place ($13,368)

Marc Inizan - 25th Place
Marc Inizan - 25th Place

Marc Inizan pushed his short-stack all in from the button and Mark Radoja made the call from the big blind.

Inizan: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Radoja: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

With Inizan trailing, the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop gave him additional outs to a third nine, but when the {3-Diamonds} and {4-Clubs} fell on the turn and river, he was forced to farewell the tournament in 25th place while leaving Radoja and Yasuhiro Waki in a fairly even heads-up battle.
