Hands #19-21: Some Action Flops Level the Stacks

Level 19 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #19: Ben Tollerene raised to 60,000 on the button with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Jake Schindler called from the small blind with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Ryan Riess also tagged along from the big blind with {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The action flop of {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} hit the felt and all three players had a bit of everything.

Both Schindler and Riess checked to Tollerene who continued for 65,000. Schindler just called with his top two pair and Riess check-raised to 245,000 after flopping a straight. Tollerene called with his straight draw along with Schindler.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and Schindler played it cautiously with another check. Riess shoved all in for 820,000 which forced a quick fold from Tollerene. Schindler sat with a puzzled look on his face as he tossed in a time extension and eventually decided on the correct fold.

Hand #20: Schindler opened to 60,000 on the button with {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and both of the blinds folded.

Hand #21: Riess raised it up to 60,000 on the button with {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Cary Katz called from the small blind with {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Tollerene was getting a good price in the big blind and also called with {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Another action flop of {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} was fanned and the action checked around to the {9-Hearts} on the turn. Katz led out for 75,000 with his trip nines and Tollerene folded. Riess made the call and the {a-Hearts} completed the board. Katz checked this time and Riess checked behind, sending the pot to Katz.
