A Hit to the Bank

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

After a caller in early position, big stack Tobin Banks raised the action. His bet was re-popped by the button and the limper and Banks both made the call.

The flop fell {8-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades} and it checked around to the button who made a bet. The early position caller folded and Banks made the call. The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and Banks check-called another of his opponent's bets. When the {3-Hearts} rivered, Banks check-called one more time only to see his opponent flip over {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for trip tens. This hand saw our first real hit in Tobin Banks' ascension to one of our tournament chip leaders.
