Telle's Two Queens

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Steve Telle
Steve Telle

Steve Telle just doubled through Vadim Kleydman when he three-bet shoved the button.

A player opened the action, raising to 700 and Kleydman called before Telle shoved for his last 5,700. The remaining players folded and Kleydman called.

Kleydman had {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and whiffed the board against the pocket queens of Telle, {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Telle would double, but still needs to do some work to get back over the starting stack.

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Ed McPike
Ed McPike

For the second hand a row, Peter Brooks raised preflop. This time it was after a limp by Tim Vance. Four players called, including Vance.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and the action checked to Brooks. He led for 1,650 and Ed McPike was the lone caller.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and McPike checked to Brooks again. This time Brooks bet 2,150 and McPike called pretty quickly.

The river paired the board with the {9-Clubs} and McPike hesitated for a moment. He then slid a bet of 5,000. Brooks went into the tank for about a minute. He looked at his cards again, then decided to muck his hand, putting McPike over 50,000.
