Bai Doubles Through Torcolese in the Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jack Torcolese raised to 60,000 from middle position and Richard Bai three-bet to 210,000 from the big blind. Torcolese called.
On the flop, Bai checked, and Torcolese simply jammed to put Bai at risk for his last 1.8 million. Bai tanked for three minutes before a clock was called, and halfway through the clock, he called.
Richard Bai:
Jack Torcolese:
"Good call. I thought I could make you fold," Torcolese told Bai.
Torcolese still had plenty of outs to crack the aces of Bai, but the turn and river bricked off, sending nearly a third of the chips in play over to Bai.
"That's some serious s*** right there!" Brett Apter said in the aftermath of the massive pot.
