Tehan with the Old 4-9 to Crack Jacks

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Joe Tehan
Joe Tehan

Joe Tehan is known for playing unconventional hands, just ask Vanessa Rousso and Faraz Jaka who both bubbled an Epic Poker League tournament with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} respectively thanks to Tehan's {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

We just saw a hand with Tehan where he was up to his old tricks. With about 1,700 in the pot and a flop of {2-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Tehan checked from the big blind and then called when his middle-position opponent bet 1,200. Both players then checked the {5-Clubs} turn and {3-Clubs} river, and the middle-position player said, "Jacks."

Sure enough, he tabled the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him, Tehan rolled over the {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a rivered straight.
