Tollerene Down But Not Out
Ben Tollerene came into play with just a little over 130,000 chips, but, having bet 42,000 with [Qd9s9h8h] and seen Stephen Chidwick make it 72,000 with [KhKd4h2c] Tollerene called leaving himself a little back.
The flop of [QhAcKs] saw Chidwick bet 31,000, the exact worth of Tollerene’s remaining stack and Tollerene went into the tank, eventually folding.
In the next hand, Tollerene had [AcKd7d2s], and his predictable all-in saw calls from all three players, Chidwick holding [QsQc4h3s], Sam Soverel [Tc9c8h6h] and George Wolff [QdTs6d5h].
The flop of [4s6c5c] saw Sam Soverel bet 50,000 and both the others folded, leaving Ben Tollerene needing an ace, king or three to stay alive. The turn card of [Qh] was no good to him, but the river was the ace of spades, and Ben Tollerene quadrupled up to 136,000. That’s still almost as short as he was coming into play, but could that be the start of a comeback for the online legend?
