Tepeh, He Score Knockouts
Tjan Tepeh raised to 30,000 under the gun before Renato Ardelean moved all in for 245,000 in the hijack. Tepeh took a minute and eventually called to put Ardelean at risk.
Renato Ardelean: A♣Q♦ 
Tjan Tepeh: A♥J♦
Ardelean had Tepeh dominated until the A♠J♣4♥ flop gave Tepeh two pair. The J♥ turn improved him to a full house, and Ardelean was drawing only to a chop as the 6♣ completed the board on the river to send him to the rail.
At another table, Dong He had a raise of 75,000 in front of him from the hijack and Mantas Stravinskas moved all in for 260,000 in middle position. He called.
Mantas Stravinskas: 10♥10♠
Dong He: J♥J♠
He spiked a set on the A♦J♦8♥ flop, while Stravinskas picked up a straight draw on the Q♥ turn. The 7♣ river was no help to Stravinskas as he joined Ardelean at the payout desk.
