Tollefson Gets River Value

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Taylor Tollefson raised to 130,000 from the button, and Jason Sell called in the small blind. Both players checked the {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, and a {7-Spades} hit the turn. Tollefson called 130,000 from Sell, and Sell checked the {4-Diamonds} river. Tollefson fired 375,000, and Sell thought for about two minutes before calling.

Tollefson showed {q-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a full house.

"That's a good one," Sell said, mucking his hand.

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Mike Deis - Fifth Place
Mike Deis - Fifth Place

Jason Sell raised to 135,000 on the button, and Mike Deis jammed for about 550,000. Sell called.

Sell: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Deis: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Deis had his opponent dominated, and he flopped two pair on the {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop.

"With no heart, that's gonna be tough to beat," Sell said.

As if on cue, the dealer put the {9-Spades} on the board to give Sell outs to a straight, which he hit on the {7-Clubs} river.

"Wow, sick," Deis said quietly.

Deis finished one spot better than his sixth-place finish at Mid-States Poker Tour Majestic Star a few weeks ago, when he scored just over $11,000.
