Teltscher Wins "Strange Hand"

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We didn't see the exact build-up, but in what a player at Table 441 termed a "strange hand," Mark Teltscher called off about 16,000 more to put a player all in before the flop. Our informant told us there had been a limp under the gun and then multiple raises before Teltscher called the last of his opponent's chips.

"I just know I'm beat," Teltscher, who was on the button said, as he slid the calling chips in.

Teltscher: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"Alright, I have a chance," Teltscher said. As it turned out, it was a very good chance indeed, since another player said he folded ace-king. Sure enough, the board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

The next hand, Teltscher eliminated another player when his {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} held against {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.
