Rough Beat for Torelli as Tammel Doubles
Level 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♦ 
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.
