Tomescu Takes a Big One
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Christopher Collier opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, but George Tomescu on the button three-bet to 555,000. The blinds folded, and after more than two minutes, Collier called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♠4♥9♥, and Tomescu continued for 305,000. Collier check-called, and he check-called again for 560,000 on the 10♥ turn.
The 6♣ completed the board and Tomescu fired a third barrel of 800,000, almost his entire stack. Once again, Collier went into the tank for several minutes and eventually called. But his cards went into the muck when Tomescu flipped over K♣9♣ for trips.
