Todd Rebello (Oak Bluffs, MA)
Todd Rebello is not looking at an easy table. Although Ben Bianco, who was sitting on his left, has busted out, Todd’s still facing off against the likes of Mike Dentale, Mike Linster, and Antonio Payne.
In a recent hand, Todd got all-in for his last 22,850 on a flop of {kd}{6c}{5d}. The player in the small blind had fewer chips than Todd and was all-in holding {Ah}{ks} (top pair, top kicker). The big blind called, showing {Ah}{ad}. Todd had {5s}{5h} and had flopped bottom set.
The dealer burned and turned the {Jd}, then burned and rivered the {2s}, both of which were safe cards for Todd. He dragged the pot, chipping up to about 95,000, while the player in the small blind reported to the rail.
Todd has a Borgata Open series title and a WSOP Circuit ring among his many poker accolades. His largest single cash came last March when he finished second in the Foxwoods Poker Classic NLH Championship for nearly $82,000. His lifetime total has exceeded $544,000.
