Plesuv Scores A Monster Double

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv limped in on the button. Ben Tollerene jammed all in from the big blind, and Plesuv leaned back in his chair. He removed his sunglasses, analyzed the situation some more, then called for 2,700,000 total.

Pavel Plesuv: {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Ben Tollerene: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Tollerene bricked all his outs to give Plesuv a massive double-up.

Ben Tollerene raised to 225,000 and Pavel Plesuv defended. The flop was {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Plesuv check-called a 150,000 bet.

On the {6-Spades} turn, Plesuv checked, Tollerene fired a second barrel worth 600,000, and Plesuv called. The river was the {4-Spades} and Plesuv checked a third time. Tollerene gave it some thought before checking behind.

Plesuv showed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for aces and tens and Tollerene mucked. With the pot, Plesuv grabbed the chip lead for the first time in the match.

Plesuv Empties the Clip

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

In a limped pot, Ben Tollerene bet 100,000 on the {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop and Pavel Plesuv check-raised to 310,000. It was the second time he'd done so in a few hands, and this time, Tollerene decided to see a turn. It was the {a-Clubs} and Tollerene called a bet of 375,000. On the {j-Hearts} river, Plesuv shoved for about 1.4 million and won without a showdown.

Stephen Chidwick Eliminated in 3rd Place (�220,700)

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Ben Tollerene opened to 170,000 on the button and Stephen Chidwick jammed it all in from the big blind. Tollerene double-checked his holding and called.

Tollerene: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Tollerene flopped a near lock as he hit a set on {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The turn was a {q-Diamonds}, bringing faint hope for the British star. However, a {5-Hearts} was not what he was looking for on the river.
