Tepen Puts a Beat on Van Blair

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ryan Tepen got there on the turn.
Ryan Tepen got there on the turn.

We found Ryan Tepen pushing all in for 284,000 from the small blind over a cutoff open from Andy Van Blair. Van Blair made the call.

Van Blair: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Tepen: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Tepen flopped a flush draw on the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and he got there right away on the {5-Hearts} turn. Since Van Blair had the {a-Hearts}, he still could win if a heart came on the river, but the {q-Spades} was a brick.

Mike Vanier opened to 23,000 in early position, and Eric Loehr moved all in for 41,000. Action folded back to Vanier, who called.

Vanier: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Loehr: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Loehr held his lead on the {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop, but a {3-Diamonds} turn followed by an {8-Spades} river sent Loehr's stack over to Vanier.

Players are on a 10-minute break.

Anderson: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Anderson's dominating hand held on the {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} runout, and we believe he's the first player in seven figures.
