Ben Tollerene

Day 1 was supposed to end after Level 14, but the six finalists were not interested in returning tomorrow on the bubble. Level 15 came and went without much action until the very last hand of the level.

With Ben Tollerene down to just a few big blinds, the decision was made to play another two orbits to see if he would either run it up or succumb. He succumbed, as it turned out.

On the first hand of Level 16, Tollerene moved all in for 34,000 in the cutoff, Adrian Mateos called in the small blind, and Nick Petrangelo defended his big blind.

The two live players checked it down as the board ran out Kd6d6c7d6s.

Tollerene: QhJs
Mateos: Jh7c
Petrangelo: 5h7h

Mateos and Petrangelo had the same hand, sixes full of sevens. They split the pot, chopping up Tollerene’s chips to send him out on the bubble.

The five remaining players crossed into the money with that knockout, and they bagged up their chips for the night.

A recap of the day’s action will be published shortly.
