Butler Catches Toma
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Tsugunari Toma opened to 500 from the hijack and was three-bet to 1,400 by Andrew Butler on the button. Action folded back to Toma and he four-bet to 5,100. Butler called.
Both players checked on the 8?7?2? flop and then Toma fired 12,200 into the middle on the J? turn. Butler called.
The 8? completed the board and Toma bet 14,400. Butler thought for a while and decided to look Toma up with a call. Toma tabled A?Q? for a whiffed flushed draw and Butler turned over 7?6? for eights and sevens, which was enough to drag the large pot early in Day 1d.
