Turner Takes Out Tehan

Our field reporter picked up the action between Jon Turner and Joe Tehan on a board that read {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}; Turner bet 15,000 into a 40,000-chip pot and Tehan called before Turner checked his option on the river of the {4-Clubs}.

Tehan moved all in for around 35,000 and Turner went deep into the tank. After what seemed like infinity, he called, showing down {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for a turned two pair. Tehan sheepishly turned up {9-Spades}{6-Spades} for nothing but a small pair and that hand-in-the-cookie-jar moment cost him his tournament life.
