Twito Scoops a Big One

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the turn on a board reading {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs} with a large stack of chips in the middle of a headsup pot.

Liron Twito, first to act from his big blind, slid out a stack of 5,000 chips that totaled 45,000 and was enough to put his opponent all in if he made the call. After tanking for over a minute the player made the call.

Liron Twito: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
All-in Player: {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Twito was ahead, but had to fade outs that would give his opponent the winning hand with a flush, trips or two pair. The {8-Clubs} river wasn't one of those outs and the all-in player was sent to the rail late on Day 1, while a substantial pot was shipped to Twito and sent him to the top of the leaderboard.
