Teusl Gets Paid with Kings After River Shove
Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
With about 4,000 in the pot and the board showing Q♦8♦8♣, Eric Cloutier checked from middle position to Jessica Teusl in the cutoff. She fired a bet of 3,500, and Cloutier made the call.
The 5♣ hit the turn, and Cloutier checked again. Teusl kept the pressure on with a bet of 8,500, which Cloutier once more called.
On the 7♠ river, Cloutier checked a third time. Teusl didn’t hesitate to move all in for her remaining 20,600. Cloutier tanked for a while, clearly unsure, but eventually tossed in the call.
Teusl turned over K♥K♦ for an overpair, and the dealer quickly mucked Cloutier’s hand. Curious, Teusl asked, “What did you have?” as she pulled in her doubl-up pot. Cloutier replied, “King-Queen.”
