Teltscher Flops Quads to Crack Boi's Bullets
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Paolo Boi raised to 40,000 from middle position and Mark Teltscher three-bet the hijack to 110,000. Boi four-bet to 200,000 and Teltscher jammed for 495,000. Boi instantly called.
Mark Teltscher: J♦J♣
Paolo Boi: A♣A♦
"That is a shame," commented Teltscher after seeing he had the mammoth task of overcoming pocket rockets.
Fortunately for Teltscher, it wasn't his time to go, as the dealer fanned the J♥J♠4♥ flop to give him quads and leave Boi needing a miracle of his own.
The 3♦ turn cemented Teltscher's double, making the 9♦ river a mere formality.
Teltscher's disappointment had quickly turned into delight as he cracked Boi's aces and secured the huge double-up.
