Action was picked up on a completed board of 8♦7♦4♦9♣2♠ in a hand between Patrik Jaros from the big blind and Jon Kyte froom early position.

In a pot of around 150,000, Jaros decided to overbet-jam for 233,000 effective as the covering stack.

Patrik Jaros: Q♦5♦

Rough Beat for Torelli as Tammel Doubles

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tarmo Tammel opened to 55,000 on the button, leaving just 4,000 behind, Nichan Khorchidian called in the small blind and Alec Torelli snap-jammed jammed in the big blind for about 180,000. Tammel called off his last 4,000, and Khorchidian tanked for nearly two minutes before making the fold.

Tarmo Tammel: A♠5♦ All in
Alec Torelli: A♦K♥

"I folded a pair," claimed Khorchidian.

"That's why I snap-jammed. So you would fold a pair," Torelli responded.

The 3♦2♦2♥ flop missed both players, and the 3♠ turn suggested they were likely to chop the pot. However, the 5♥ river improved Tammel to fives and threes, securing the double.

Nichan Khorchidian	320,000 -85,000	-85,000
