Rough Beat for Torelli as Tammel Doubles
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Tarmo Tammel opened to 55,000 on the button, leaving just 4,000 behind, Nichan Khorchidian called in the small blind and Alec Torelli snap-jammed jammed in the big blind for about 180,000. Tammel called off his last 4,000, and Khorchidian tanked for nearly two minutes before making the fold.
Tarmo Tammel: A?5? 
Alec Torelli: A?K?
"I folded a pair," claimed Khorchidian.
"That's why I snap-jammed. So you would fold a pair," Torelli responded.
The 3?2?2? flop missed both players, and the 3? turn suggested they were likely to chop the pot. However, the 5? river improved Tammel to fives and threes, securing the double.
