Mark Teltscher Crippled

Just before the break Mark Teltscher was crippled in a hand amid some controversy. On a flop of {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} an unknown player lead out and Teltscher raised. The floor was called as it was believed that the raise wasn't enough, as it needed to be at least the size of the original bet. The raise was declared a minimum raise, before Teltscher's opponent came over the top all-in. Teltscher made the call revealing pocket aces but was in trouble against his opponent's set of eights. The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and the river {10-Clubs} to leave Teltscher in trouble and peddling the short stack.
