Teusl Shows Patience, Then Strikes
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With around 14,000 already in the pot and the board showing Q♣2♠9♠K♦, Jessica Teusl checked to Bernd Gleissner, who bet 4,800. Teusl called.
When the 7♦ hit the river, Teusl checked again, and Gleissner fired a hefty 65,000, putting her at risk with only about 18,000 behind. Teusl folded, conceding the pot to Gleissner.
In the next three hands, Teusl turned up the pressure, winning every pot without showing her cards against almost the whole table, quickly rebuilding a healthy stack of around 47,000.
