Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Mark Teltscher raised from the cutoff before Hai-Chi Ho made it 6,800 to go from the small blind. Only Teltscher called and the two went off to a flop.

The 9♥6♣9♠ flop checked through before Ho bet out 7,000 on the 7♥ turn. Teltscher called and the 5♥ river completed the board.

Ho checked again and Teltscher opted to bet 12,000 chips. Ho raised it up to 36,000 and Teltscher swiftly called.

Ho could only show ace-high with his A♦K♣, while Teltscher was sitting pretty on the flush with A♥Q♥. Ho lost some of his big stack early on while Teltscher chipped up nicely.
