Ben Tollerene Eliminated in 23rd Place ($13,368); Sean Getzwiller Advances!

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Ben Tollerene - 23rd Place
Ben Tollerene - 23rd Place

With the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades} we found Ben Tollerene shoving his last 121,500 into the pot from the big blind against Sean Getzwiller.

Getzwiller contemplated for a while before eventually making the call and tabling his {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Tollerene shook his head and tabled his {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for an elaborate bluff to fall in 23rd place while earning $13,368 in the process.

As Getzwiller secures his second WSOP final table for the series after winning Event #8: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em, he detailed to us that Tollerene kept barrelling into him - including a 40,000-chip bet on the turn - before eventually falling one place shy of a WSOP final table berth.
