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 {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} 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: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Jack Torcolese: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

"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 {q-Hearts} turn and {3-Spades} 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.
