Mark Teltscher Doubles

Level 23 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Mark Teltscher on the button and he shoved all in for half an ante more than ten big blinds. His 1,210,000 shove made Jani Sointula in the small blind fold instantly. Isaac Haxton in the big blind needed some more time but eventually called.

Isaac Haxton: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Mark Teltscher: {J-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop ({A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}) and turn ({7-Hearts}) were good for Haxton, but the {J-Spades} on the river helped Teltscher to double up. Still nine players.

It's a Waiting Game

Level 23 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

The clock shows 3:10 a.m. here in Barcelona, and we still have nine players in this one-day event. As of right now the event has been going on for almost 15 hours and the end is not in sight yet. Not a single player has their shove seen called in the 20 minutes, but with the blinds at a sky-high level it can never be long before the next all-in showdown.

Level: 23

Blinds: 60,000/120,000

Ante: 20,000

Chop It Up

Level 22 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Liv Boeree raised it up to 225,000 under the gun and Martin Finger in middle position made the call. Mark Teltscher on the button tanked for a bit before shoving all in for 965,000. Both blinds folded and Boeree shoved all in over the top. Finger instantly folded.

Boeree had the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and was up against Teltscher with the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. The board ran out {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and the two Brits chopped the blinds, antes, and Fingers donation. This final tables refuses to let someone leave!
