"This Table is Insane"; Telle Spikes the River to Double

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Charles T Telle

Shortly after coming out the wrong side of the three-way all in, Charles Telle got in his last 370,000 from the hijack and was up against Dale Stafford in the big blind.

Charles Telle: QQ All in
Dale Stafford: JJ

Telle had Stafford crushed with his queens, but the J105 flop gave Stafford top set and the lead. The turn was the 6, and Telle spiked the Q on the river to win the pot and double up.

"This table is insane," tablemate Keith Heine said.

At another table, Mike Bell had bet 150,000 from early position on a board of 2Q8A and Ben Miller called on the button. Bell then moved all in on the J river, and Miller called for 200,000.

Miller showed 98 for a rivered flush, and Bell tossed A10 into the muck.

Forshey Scoops a Three-Way All In

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Phil Boyd raised to 55,000 in the hijack before Paul Fehlig moved all in for 130,000 in the cutoff. Ted Forshey reshoved on the button for 155,000, and Charles Telle also shoved in 440,000 from the small blind. Boyd tossed away two nines.

Paul Fehlig: AJ All in
Ted Forshey: 1010 All in
Charles Telle: 88

"I have a great spot," Fehlig said after finding out he was racing for a chance to triple up, but he missed the Q4326 board and Forshey remained in the lead with his tens to scoop the pot. Fehig was sent to the rail, while Telle handed over a double up to Forshey.

Boyd Can't Stand to Look

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kyle Parrish moved all in for 300,000 in middle position, Phil Boyd reshoved on the button, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Kyle Parrish: 88 All in
Phil Boyd: AA

"I can't look," Boyd said as he turned away from the table after turning over his aces.

"You'll probably tell by the "oohs", tablemate Keith Heine told him.

The flop came A510 to give Boyd top set. "Oh my God," Tyler Breeding said, teasing Boyd. The rest of the board ran out 34, and Boyd finally turned around to rake in the pot and send Parrish to the rail.

"Of course he has ace-king again," tablemate Louis Dochwat said. The board ran out J9258, and Perla's king-kicker continued to play to send Thomas to the rail.

"He's had ace-king seven f**king times. Aces once. How did you get that seat? Are you guys related? Let me check your Facebook," Dochwat joked with Perla, who moved up past 1,000,000.
