Tedeschi Busts Pereira; Doubles Vecino

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Paul Tedeschi
Paul Tedeschi

In a three-bet pot against Roi Pereira, Paul Tedeschi flopped two pair on {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and got it in against the {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a flush draw. Two blanks followed on the {3-Clubs} turn and {j-Spades} river, which sent Pereira to the payout desk.

Soon after, Tedeschi raised and called a three-bet to 140,000 by Juan Carlos Vecino. Both players agreed to get the chips in blind after the flop as Vecino had just 37,000 behind. The {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop indeed provided that action with the Spaniard at risk.

Juan Carlos Vecino: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Paul Tedeschi: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

The {3-Hearts} turn locked up the double and the {5-Hearts} river became a formality.
