Torelli Moving Up

Alec Torelli made a major move up in the chip count when he took down a nice pot worth over 90,000.

The action started with a raise by Ben Fineman in early postion to 4,100. After a middle-position player called, Connor Allisen reraised to 13,500. Allisen's raise was quickly followed by a third raise from Alec Torelli, who pushed all in for about 75,000. Fineman and the middle-postion player folded and Allisen made the call for his remaining 30,000.

The hands were turned and Allisen had {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} against Torelli's {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. The flop came {J-Spades} {2-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}, leaving Allisen's kings in the lead, but the the turn was the {A-Diamonds} and the tables were turned. The river blanked off the {4-Spades} and Torelli stacked the chips as Allisen left the room.

Torelli has 145,000.
