The Big Teng Theory

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Andrew Teng
Andrew Teng

Well, that escalated quickly… and heavily in favor of Andrew Teng.

He started the hand with 800,000 in chips and raised, then Matt Salsberg moved all in with {Q-}{Q-}. From one seat over, Joseph Salvaggi then reshoved for more than 600,000 with {A-}{K-}, and Teng snapped them both off with his {K-}{k-}. The second-best starting hand in no-limit hold'em held up, and Teng now has 1.75 million as two more players hit the rail.

Racener Busts Pilgrim

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Dwyte Pilgrim moved all in for 100,000 from under the gun with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and John Racener looked him up two seats over with the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The flop came king-high with two clubs, pairing Racener but giving Pilgrim a flush draw. Dwyte had several outs to survive but failed to improve when the dealer roller over blanks on the turn and river.

Newman's Two Pair Holds

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Stewart Newman bet 65,000 from early position after an {8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop hit the board. The button raised to about 190,000 and Newman shoved for 374,000. The player on the button called after about a minute of deliberation.

Newman: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Button: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Newman had been dominated but outflopped his opponent. The {7-Clubs} turn brought a mighty sweat, giving the button a flush draw, but a {q-Hearts} river was harmless for Newman.

Sluzinski Falls to Anderson Again

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We arrived at the table to see an all-in button in front of Bradley Anderson and Jeff Sluzinski reaching for chips to make the call. He happily flipped over {A-}{A-} and Anderson showed {A-}{4-}. By the time the river fell, Anderson had caught a 7-high straight to double up, sucking out versus Sluzinski once again. These two faced off with jacks and kings not long ago, and Anderson hit his jack on the river in that hand as well.

"You're the luckiest guy," Sluzinski moaned.

Heaps Of Chips

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Stephen Graner
Stephen Graner

Stephen Graner knocked out a short stack for 200,000 with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} versus {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} in a battle button versus small blind.

Meanwhile, Bart Lybaert only flat-called a raise and then got his opponent to move all in after a {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} flop with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Lybaert snap-called with the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and the {J-Hearts} turn and {8-Clubs} river changed nothing.

Prasetyo Ousted

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Aditya Prasetyo shoved all in for 147,000 in the hijack, and Jason Johnson reshoved from his left for about 480,000. Everyone else folded, though the big blind considered for awhile.

Prasetyo: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Johnson: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Prasetyo had been shipped on by one of the hands he had solid equity against, but he got out of his chair in expectation of a bust. Self-fulfilling prophecy or not, the board came {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, leaving Prasetyo bust.

Orez Mokedi Tops a Million

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Orez Mokedi opened for 35,000 and Curt Kohlberg clicked back to 60,000. Mokedi four-bet to 165,000 and after a brief tank Kohlberg called.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Mokedi looked at Kohlberg and slid out a 110,000 wager. Kohlberg thought for 30 seconds and called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}. Mokedi again looked at Kohlberg and this time put out 175,000. Kohlberg stared at the bet sitting in the center of the table and looked back at the four cards in the middle of the table. His eyes darted back and forth several times. Finally after a near five-minute tank, he reluctantly folded.

Mokedi started the day out with 92,000 and has done quite well thus far to move himself near the top of the leaderboard.
