"You Got It"

Chris DeMaci
Chris DeMaci

Joe Tehan raised to 200,000 on the button only to have Chris DeMaci reraise to 550,000. Tehan called and the players watched the flop fall {3-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. DeMaci continuation bet 450,000 and Tehan once again called. Suddenly the pot had swelled to just over 2 million.

Both players proceeded to check the {Q-Spades} turn and saw the {Q-Clubs} appear on the river. DeMaci took his time before betting 1.125 million. "I hope you're not bluffing with the best hand," Tehan said as he gathered some chips and flung them in the pot.

"You got it," DeMaci said. "Jack-high." Indeed DeMaci showed {J-Spades}{10-Spades}. Tehan then flipped {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for a king-high and the best hand. With that, Tehan took over 2.2 million from DeMaci, who is down to 3.7 million.

Just Three Bets This Time

Chris DeMaci raised to 200,000 from the button for the second time in a row, and for the second time in a row, Joe Tehan three-bet him to 575,000. Tehan got four-bet the last time, but DeMaci yielded this time around and sent his cards back to the muck.

Four Bets Pre

Chris DeMaci opened to 200,000, and this time Joe Tehan three-bet him to 575,000. DeMaci took a couple long looks down at his stack, then peeked against at his hole cards before beginning to shuffle chips. It looked like he was stacking out a reraise, and indeed he stuck in a four-bet to 1.025 million. That move made an uncomfortable look cross Tehan's face, and he eventually decided a fold was in order.

"Ace-ten no good?" Tehan asked.

"That's what you said last time. Is that gonna be like the broken record?" Both men chuckled as the dealer shuffled the deck for the next hand.

Ace-High Good For DeMaci

Chris DeMaci raised to 200,000, and Joe Tehan called.

The flop came out {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}, and Tehan checked. DeMaci continued out with 225,000, and Tehan put in the call.

The {9-Diamonds} turn paired the board, and Tehan led out now, putting 375,000 chips into the middle. DeMaci double-checked his hole cards and splashed the call into the pot. The river was the {5-Clubs}, and both men checked.

Tehan announced, "King-high," and prepared to muck. DeMaci showed up his barely better {A-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, and his ace-high was the pot winner.

DeMaci Floats and Leads

Joe Tehan raised to 200,000 from the button, and Chris DeMaci called to see a flop.

DeMaci checked the {7-Spades} {K-Hearts} {A-Hearts} flop, then called a continuation bet of 175,000. That led them to the {2-Diamonds} turn, and it went check-check. DeMaci took the betting lead on the {9-Diamonds} river, and 275,000 was enough to get the job done and win him the pot.
