Chen Eliminates Teisseire
Peter Robinson went jammed in cutoff for 37,000 and Antonin Teisseire made a duty call in the big blind taking them to showdown.
Peter Robinson: Q♠10♥
Antonin Teisseire: 9♥3♥
Already ahead, Robinson's lead got reinforced when the flop dropped Q♠5♥8♠ giving him a pair. The runout 8♥4♠ didn't take the lead away from Robinson resulting in a double up for him.
A few hands later, Teisseire found himself in an all-in situation with Wei Chen, who covered him and placed his tournament life on the line.
Antonin Teisseire: A♥7♣
Wei Chen: A♦K♦
Both players had an ace but Chen had the better kicker putting him in the front. It was looking grim for Teisseire when the flop dropped 10♥8♠K♠. The turn 9♣ and river 5♣ didn't help Teisseire at all ending his tournament life instantly. He left the table as the dealer pushed the chips towards Chen's direction.
