Teston Keeps the Chip Stack Moving in the Right Direction
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ryne Teston opened in middle position to 1,000 before the button opted to three-bet to 3,000. Teston asked for a rough chip count from his opponent and then made the call.
The 5♥K♦8♥ flop landed and Teston checked to the three-bettor who continued for 2,500. Teston called and the 3♦ rolled off on the turn.
Teston sat in the tank for a moment and then opted to lead the turn for 10,000 which effectively put his opponent all in. The button thought it over for a moment but eventually folded.
Teston took it down and kept the chip lead as the middling levels began.
