Teisseire Crosses a Million

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Antonin Teisseire
Antonin Teisseire

Antonin Teisseire raised to 54,000 to open the pot, and Darryl Ronconi flatted on the button. Jim Routos decided to come along from the small blind, too, and it was three-handed to the flop.

It brought {J-Spades} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades}, and Routos took the lead with a bet of 125,000. Teisseire methodically stacked together a raise, and he slid out 325,000. It left him with 425,000 behind. That folded Ronconi pretty quickly, though he did pause to check how much Routos was playing first. Routos tanked and folded, too, and Teisseire showed his {9-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} as the dealer pushed him the pot.

Routos got all wide-eyed and stared up at the ceiling. He seemed content with his fold as he nodded to his rail, but also a bit surprised to see what he was seeing. "Wow," he said quietly.

"WOW!" Teisseire bellowed in return, climbing up over a million chips to 1.085 with that nice pot.
