Joe Tehan Down to 2,500

All players folded to Joe Tehan on the button who opened for a raise to 525. The small blind got out of his way, but the big blind re-raised Joe 1,000 more. Tehan called, and the flop came {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Both players checked. The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and after his opponent checked to him again, Joe decided to bet 1,850. After thinking for about two minutes, the other player called. The river card was the {10-Spades}. Joe's lone opponent checked again, and Joe bet 2,500, half of his remaining chips. Unfortunately for Tehan, his opponent called with just enough to beat Joe's ace-jack high -- he called with ace-king high!
