Tollerene Shoots Down Sluiter
We caught the action on a flop of in a heads-up pot between Dutchman Raemon Sluiter and Ben Tollerene just as Sluiter led out for a bet of 2,300. Tollerene looked on impassively before counting out the call and carefully placing it in out on the baize.
The turn completed a possible club flush and Sluiter bet out 6,600 leaving himself 7,000 behind. Tollerene did not miss this fact and after thinking it over, smooth called once again taking play to the river.
Sluiter shoved for his remaining 7,000 and Tollerene beat him into the pot. The Dutchman showed for a flush but this was not enough to beat Tollerene’s turned full house and the US pro flipped over to send Sluiter to the exit.
Sluiter's girlfriend Fatima Moreira de Melo has also been eliminated from the event. She was down to about 25 big blinds or so and got it in with queens to ace-king. She did not survive the encounter and had headed to the rail just before Sluiter.
