Hand #24 - Alec Torelli

Kenny Tran has the button. He makes it 72,000 to go. Alec Torelli comes over the top with a raise of his own to 270,000. Tran thinks briefly, then makes the call.

The flop is a completely uncoordinated {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. Both players check it through. The turn pairs the board with the {3-Spades}. Both players check it through again. The river puts a third spade on the board when it falls {9-Spades}. Torelli feels this is the right time to fire -- he makes it 400,000 to go. Tran thinks, then makes the call. Torelli has a pair of tens in the hole; he flopped top set and made a full house. He takes down a big pot.
