Tehan Doubles on a Sick Flop
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Joe Tehan raised to 16,000 out of the hijack seat, and Jeremy Ausmus three-bet to 36,000 on the button. The action folded back to Tehan, who called, and the dealer spread 
. Tehan checked, Ausmus continued for 31,000, and Tehan check-raised all in for 142,000. Ausmus called.
Tehan: 
Ausmus: 
Tehan held a royal flush draw, but Ausmus was still ahead with his flopped set of fives. The 
on the turn gave Tehan a meaningless pair of jacks, and left him one card away from elimination. The river was red, and the 
gave Tehan his much-needed heart flush. He doubled to 360,000 chips, while Ausmus dropped down to 375,000.
