No Sixth Championship for Carlsen

Five-time World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen has proven he can hold his own against the poker pros during his deep run on Day 3, but that run has ended.

In a single-raised three-way pot on a flop of 7♣2♣9♥, Carlsen checked in the big blind and Mark Teltscher bet 30,000 in early position. Oleg Vasylchenko folded in late position before Carlsen check-jammed a stack of about 163,000. Teltscher called with a slightly bigger stack.

Magnus Carlsen: 4♠4♣
Mark Teltscher: 10♦10♣

Carlsen had the worse pair and couldn't improve as the board ran out Q♥8♠ to mark the chess prodigy's elimination. As he left, Teltscher thanked Carlsen for playing and told him it was good for "growing the game."
