Davin Anderson Takes From Paul-Francois Tedeschi

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} and a pile of chips in the middle, Davin Anderson bet from under the gun, and Paul-Francois Tedeschi called in late position. The river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Anderson bet again. Tedeschi thought for a little while and eventually tossed out 8,000 chips required to call.

Anderson showed {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for two pair, queens and twos, with a ten kicker, and that was good for the pot. He's now climbed his way up toward the top of the counts.
