Tepen Gets In With a Lock

Ryan Tepen opened from middle position to 1,300 and got three-bet to 3,600 by Cash Carpenter in the big blind. Tepen made the call, and a flop fell. Carpenter bet 4,500, and Tepen called. An turned, and Carpenter bet 6,500. Tepen thought for about a minute, staring at Carpenter with a puzzled look before jamming for 16,425. Carpenter quickly called.

Carpenter:
Tepen:

Tepen's top two was a lock, and he could only lose some of the pot if another eight hit to make both players eights full of aces. The river gave Carpenter a better two pair, but it wasn't enough.
