Teltscher Gets There

After a player limped it was Mark Teltscher who raised it up. Another player three-bet, the limper folded and Teltscher moved all in. His opponent called for a total of around 15,000 and the following showdown went down.

Mark Teltscher {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and Teltscher got really lucky. His opponent was knocked out while the Brit is up to around 40,000 chips now.

Elder Busts Vas Nunes

Paul Vas Nunes opened to 500 in middle position, a player near the button called, and Rupert Elder three-bet to 2,050 from the small blind. Vas Nunes four-bet to 6,000 - committing a little less than half of his stack - and the action folded back to Elder.

He tanked for 30 seconds or so, then moved all in for effectively 14,025. Vas Nunes immediately called, putting himself at risk.

Vas Nunes: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Elder: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Elder's queens held as the board ran out {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}, eliminating Vas Nunes.

Pedley Risked it All

We just saw a flop reading {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} and Michael Pedley moved all in for 8,025. His opponent tanked for a while but eventually folded. Pedley has around 19,000 chips in front of him right now and that's still down a little from his previous count.

Confusion Among Teltscher and McLean

With the board reading {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts} the action was on Aussie Luke McLean who bet 3,600. Mark Teltscher went into the tank for awhile before making the call.

McLean showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Teltscher complimented his opponent with his nice hand. The Brit mucked and the dealer shuffled the cards.

"Sh*t!" Teltscher yelled about five second later as he realized the hand was a split pot. The players to the left of McLean pointed this out to the Aussie who seemed confused as well.

"I thought I was value betting," McLean said as he added that the board looked pretty strange to him as well. Teltscher had just lost a pot he could've chopped and McLean is up to 46,000.

Glazier Takes a Hit

Jackie Glazier
Jackie Glazier

Jackie Glazier opened to 400 on the button, and both players in the blinds called. The dealer fanned {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and the action checked to Glazier, who continued for 800. The player in the small blind check-raised to 2,400, and Glazier called.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, the player led out for 2,500, and Glazier called.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board, and both players checked.

"I just have a straight," the player said, tabling {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Glazier mucked her cards, and is now down to around 12,500 chips.

Oliver Speidel's table broke about 15 minutes ago, and an extended search has left us to believe he's no longer playing. Speidel took home A$1,600,000 for his victory last year, but he won't be adding anything to his winnings this year in the Main Event.
