Is it Zarbo-ver After Teng Suckout?

A very large pot just bumped Andrew Teng's stack even higher - over the 300k mark and in real contention for a very deep run in this WPT event - an accurate count not ready yet as he was still stacking the remains of Guiseppe Zarbo's tournament life a moment ago.

A couple of players were getting out of their seats and darting little peeks at the pot which on the {J-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} flop had started with a 15k bet out by Zarbo, raised by Teng to 33k. Back to Zarbo, who laid out pretty much his whole pink 5k reserves - 80k in total in just a matter of seconds.

Teng ascertained that Zarbo had 40k behind, then slowly brought forward stacks of 20k with some pinks on top, then took off the pink ones, then put them back on with a garnish of some 500s. He apologised for taking time and people were more or less content to wait it out. Once the pyramid shaped chip hill headed as far as just in front of the line, Teng's eyes lifted heavenwards, but they stopped there. Time was called, and half a minute counted down.

He did announce all-in eventually, called immediately by Zarbo (who just took a moment to put on his flashing-rimmed glasses) who flipped {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. Teng held {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} which was looking grim as the turn bricked but the river was the {Q-Spades}! Ship the quarter million pot to Teng, while Zarbo looked like he'd swallowed a wasp and said something punchy-sounding in Italian.
