Teodorescu Spills The Tea, Makes The Right Call
Andrei Vavilonskii opened to 350,000 in middle position and Andrei Teodorescu called in the hijack as Mykhailo Demydenko came along from the big blind.
The flop of 8?9?2? checked through and Vavilonskii bet 425,000 on the A? turn. Teodorescu called and Demydenko check-raised to 1,725,000. Vavilonskii quickly folded and Teodorescu called.
The 6? river completed the board and Demydenko bet out 2,500,000 to send Teodorescu deep into the tank. He stood up to get a better look at the board and spilled a glass of Turkish tea on the tournament floor in the process. Teodorescu stayed in the tank for several minutes and rubbed his face before eventually finding a call.
Demydenko turned over 8?7? for just a pair of eights and Teodorescu triumphantly revealed A?2? for two pair to win the sizable pot.
