Tessier Better Than He Thought
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Remi Tessier was all in for his last 4,300 chips on a board reading 
. His cards protected by a red toy truck, Tessier stared down his opponent, who seemed to have a tough decision. Finally, his opponent called.
"Good call," said Tessier, "I got a nine."
Tessier turned over 
assuming it wasn't the best hand, but was relieved to see his opponent turn over 
, giving Tessier the lead against only a flush draw. The river was the 
and didn't complete the flush, so Tessier happily scooped up the pot.
