Kristian Tolvhed Doubles Through

Merianda Füllenbach raised to 40,000 from UTG, and Kristian Tolvhed called. On a 8c-Ah-4h flop, Füllenbach continue bet for 60,000. After a brief pause, Tolvhed declared himself all-in.

"Count," requested Füllenbach. "278,000," came the reply.

After a deep breath, Füllenbach announced call, rose abruptly from her seat and flipped Ad-Js onto the table. Tolvhed had her pipped with As-Qc.

A 7d turn and 6c river leaves Füllenbach with 125,000. Here she is during cheerier times; now she's about as happy as a eskimo in the desert.
