Price Picks Up a Fan

Toby Price raised to 2,300,000 from the button. "I'm just following your suit. That's your raise so I thought that's what you're supposed to do," he told Paulo Joanello, who called.

The flop came and Price continued for 2,500,000. Joanello called, then both players checked down the turn and river.

"Four-fifths of a straight flush," Price said, showing for a flush to take the pot.

Price has added a rail to counter Joanello's large and passionate Brazilian following, a player who happened to be on break from another tournament and stopped to watch.

"You can root for me. Otherwise I have nobody," he said. "It's now 12 on two instead of 12 on one."
