Hands #1-5: Tollerene Barrels With Flush, Holst Escapes on the River

Level 18 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #1: Cary Katz found {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} in the second position and scooped the blinds and ante with a 50,000-raise to kick things off.

Hand #2: It took only two hands to see the first three-bet hit the felt. It all happened in the late positions after Kristina Holst made it 45,000 in the cutoff. Jake Schindler peeled {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} on the button and priced it up to 130,000. Holst folded her {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Hand #3: Ryan Riess min-raised from the button and Katz defended his big blind with {J-Spades}{3-Spades}. Katz completely missed the {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop and quickly check-folded to Riess' continuation bet.

Hand #4: Under the gun, Holst raised to 45,000 with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and action folded to big blind Ben Tollerene who called with dominated {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Once again, the {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop wasn't what the defending player wished for and Tollerene check-folded to Holst's cbet of 50,000.

Hand #5: In a blind-versus-blind limped pot, Tollerene and Holst looked at the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop. It was an action-provoking texture as Tollerene had a combo draw with {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} while Holst spiked the top pair with {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Tollerene led out 30,000 and Holst called.

The {3-Hearts} turn locked it up for Tollerene who made his flush. He continued barreling, firing 80,000 this time. Holst called one more time and the {9-Clubs} river paired the board.

Tollerene took his full 30 seconds before betting 250,000, putting Holst to a tough spot. She laid her hand down, preventing her stack from what would be a huge wound.
