Tollerene Doubles Through Calderaro

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Ben Tollerene raised the pot from the cutoff and James Calderaro called on the button. On the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop, Tollerene continued for 125,000 and Calderaro called.

The {2-Spades} fell on the turn and Tollerene moved all in for his last 435,000, which Calderaro called with the words, "OK, I call," after brief consideration.

Tollerene: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Calderaro: {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The river was a blank {A-Hearts} and Tollerene doubled.

Calderaro Takes from Rybin

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Alexey Rybin raised to 125,000 from the button and James Calderaro called in the big blind, having just arrived and still stacking his chips.

"Did you look at your cards?" Rybin asked.

Calderaro replied, "No, it's Omaha."

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and both players checked. On the {2-Diamonds} turn, Calderaro bet 200,000 and Rybin called before the {7-Spades} was checked. Calderaro showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} and won the pot.

"That's a big hand, especially in the dark," Dan Smith added.

Dario Sammartino raised to 150,000 the next hand and Rybin called, as did Calderaro in the small blind. On the {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, all three players checked. Calderaro bet 220,000 on the {7-Clubs} turn and just Rybin called. The {6-Spades} river brought no betting action and Calderaro showed {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a set of sevens. "Well done," Rybin admitted and mucked.

James Park raised the pot to 175,000 from under the gun, Alexey Rybin reraised the pot from the small blind, Park four-bet shoved for about 1,350,000, and Rybin called.

Park: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Rybin: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The board came down {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, giving Rybin tens and fours to eliminate Park in 11th place.

Slow Restart After the Break

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

James Park limped in from the small blind and Dan Smith raised the pot. Park folded.

One hand later, Smith limped the small blind and Dario Sammartino checked in the big blind. On the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, Smith checked and called a bet of 75,000 by Sammartino. The {Q-Diamonds} appeared on the turn and Smith checked again. Sammartino made it 165,000 to go and that won the pot.

Alexey Rybin raised to 125,000 from under the gun and Aaron Katz called in the small blind. Dario Sammartino raised the pot to 500,000 in the big blind and both of his opponents called to set up a massive 1.5 million pot to the flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Katz moved all in for 410,000 and Sammartino reraised the pot, forcing out Rybin.

Aaron Katz: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Dario Sammartino: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}

"Let's get lucky once," Katz said and then asked for clubs after the {6-Clubs} turn before noticing Sammartino's nut flush draw. The river was the blank {A-Hearts} and Sammartino scooped the pot with a set of aces, eliminating Katz in 12th place for $70,421.
