Tollerene Spikes the River to Bust Arieh
Level 18
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Dirk Gerritse opened from the hijack before Ben Tollerene potted to 1,000,000 from the cutoff. In the big blind, Josh Arieh jammed for 1,035,000. Gerritse folded while Tollerene called.
Josh Arieh: K♠K♣10♦7♠ 
Ben Tollerene: A♦9♠8♦4♥
The J♠8♣7♥ flop gave pairs to both players and Tollerene picked up a gutshot. The 7♦ turn improved Arieh to trip sevens and left Tollerene's gutter no good (a ten would give Arieh a full house) and he was left drawing to two outs - the remaining eights.
The 8♥ landed on the river to give Tollerene trip eights and the winner as Arieh hit the rail three from the money.
