Tepeh Can't Get it Through
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Action was picked up on a flop of 5♦2♥8♣ with 1,200,000 in the middle, and three bettor Eugene Zhou had placed in a continuation bet of 400,000. Middle position raiser Tjan Tepeh put in the call, and the two went off to an A♠ turn.
Here, Zhou slowed down with a check, and Tepeh checked back, leading both players to the K♣ river.
Zhou bet out again, for 450,000. Tepeh then announced "all in," which put Zhou into the blender. He asked for a count, and the bet totalled 2,790,000. A wrong call would've left him incredibly short, and he pondered the decision for a good few minutes. He finally put in the call, and Tepeh showed 6♦6♥ for an airball. Zhou's top two with A♥K♥ was enough to scoop a massive pot.
