The WPT Alpha8 Las Vegas Epilogue of Ben Tollerene
Dec 19, 2014
Since he was crippled in the three-way all-in that busted Max Altergott from the tournament, Ben Tollerene (pictured above) has been fighting on a short stack. Here is a look at the three all-ins he survived.
Ben Tollerene is all in preflop for 8,000 in the hijack with A
2, and Alec Torelli has him covered with A
3. The board runs out QJ
8J
K and the two players chop up the pot.
In the next all in, Tollerene has his tournament life on the line with 86 for a shove of 12,000 on a flop reading 1043. Sean Winter has him covered with A8 in the hole, but the turn and river are dealt Q7 to give Tollerene a flush to survive.
The third all in sees Tollerene go into battle with 86 against the A10 of Sorel Mizzi on a final board reading Q9752. This time Tollerene makes a straight and he avoids elimination once more.
Tollerene is still short-stacked but he has proved quite the survivor.
