Teska Escapes in Spectacular Fashion; Leaves Zhou on Fumes
Level 27
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
In the first hand after the dinner break, Andjelko Andrejevic limped in from the cutoff and Roger Teska raised the pot to 900,000 in the cutoff. Quan Zhou called out of the big blind and Andrejevic also came along.
Three ways to the 9♣6♣4♠ flop, Zhou bet the pot for 3,000,000 and Andrejevic folded while Teska called all-in for 2,750,000.
Roger Teska: A♦A♠7♠3♠
Quan Zhou: K♣10♣9♦6♦
Teska had aces with a gutshot while Zhou was ahead with the top two pair and a flush draw.
Nothing changed with the J♦ turn but the 4♦ river paired the board, counterfeiting Zhou's hand in brutal fashion. Teska doubled for 2,750,000 and Zhou was left with fewer than three big blinds.
