Tollefsen thought for a few moments before making the call. Peters showed KHeart Suit10Spade Suit and was slightly behind Tollefsen’s ASpade SuitQHeart Suit.

Peters moved into the lead on the flop of 2Spade Suit10Heart SuitJHeart Suit and Tollefsen got out of seat and got ready to leave. The 10Diamond Suit on the turn, gave Peters trips and left Tollefsen drawing dead.
