All Tenner, All the Time

"Wow, that's the biggest pot so far," said Fabio Coppola in awe of the pot that Mark Tenner just dragged. The action preflop was raised by Tenner and called by Michael Keiner before Josh Schlein three-bet from the big blind. Tenner and Keiner each called.

Schlein acted first on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

and bet. Both opponents called. On the {J-Clubs}

turn, Schlein fired again. Again both opponents called, although Tenner gave the matter some thought rather than immediately firing his call into the pot. Action checked all the way down on the {4-Clubs}

river.

Schlein had to show first and opened {A-Clubs}

, unimproved aces. Tenner was able to best that hand with {A-Diamonds}

. He had flopped a nut flush draw and turned a junky two pair. That two pair was good for the whole pot when Keiner mucked.

Tenner is now leading this thing with more than 900,000 chips.
