Teston Puts Opponent to the Test; Gets Big River Value

Chris Land

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 700 only to see Ryne "Pyzza" Teston three-bet to 2,500 from the big blind. The cutoff made a quick call to bring out the Q♥K♦7♣.

Both players checked through, prompted the dealer to burn and turn the A♣.

Teston paused briefly before reaching for chips and putting out a bet worth 3,000. The cutoff made the call to watch as the 8♦ fell on the river.

Teston sat stoic for a few seconds before grabbing 9,000 and tossing it into the middle, causing the player in the cutoff to enter the tank.

After about two minutes of through, the cutoff counted out a call and tossed it into the pot to see Teston turn over the K♠K♣, getting a quick fold out of the cutoff and prompting the dealer to send the pot in Teston's direction.

Kowal Gets the Perfect River

Jeremy Geist

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Matt Affleck opened under the gun to 700 and got called in two spots by the small blind and Graydon Kowal in the big blind.

The 3♠A♦5♥ flop hit the felt and action checked to Affleck who continued for 700. Both players called.

The A♥ rolled off on the turn and action checked to Affleck again who put out another wager of 2,500. The small blind smooth-called and then Kowal snap jammed for about 7,000.

Affleck got out of the way and the small blind instantly called putting Kowal at risk.

Graydon Kowal: A♣J♣
Small Blind: A♠3♦

The small blind already had a boat and Kowal would need some help. Lucky for him the dealer burned and turned miracle J♦ river giving him the better boat and the pure double.

Matt Affleck	46,000 46,000	46,000
