Tehan and Cortellino War With Baby Aces

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Leonard Cortellino and Joe Tehan got it all in preflop, Cortellino the at-risk player with his last ~100,000 in the middle. Tehan was working with {A-Spades} {4-Spades}, dominating the {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} of his opponent.

The {2-Spades} {6-Clubs} {K-Spades} flop was a good sweat as Cortellino flopped his pair but Tehan flopped a flush draw. A nervous Cortellino stood behind his chair with his hands on his head as he sweated the turn and river.

Turn: {8-Diamonds}. Safe.

River: {Q-Clubs}. Scary, but safe, too. That gives Cortellino a double to about 200,000, while Tehan drops back to 140,000.
