Tehan Makes HUGE Fold; Hellmuth Survives

Mickey Doft

You won't see this often...

Rodawig: {X-} {X-} / {2-Hearts}
Tehan: {X-} {X-} / {3-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} - folded
Hellmuth: {X-} {X-} / {6-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} {2-Clubs} / {X-}
Racener: {X-} {X-} . {J-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} / {X-}

Alright, lets get to it.

After Eric Rodawig brought it in, Joe Tehan completed. Phil Hellmuth called, but John Racener raised. Eslami folded, while Tehan and Hellmuth called. Racener bet fourth street, getting called by both.

Fifth street is where it got cooking! Racener checked, Tehan bet, and Hellmuth raised. Racener, though, re-raised and really put the heat on Tehan. After a few moments he called, as did Hellmuth for his remaining stack. Sixth street then paired up both Racener and Tehan. Racener, with the lead, bet and really sent Tehan into the tank. After about two minutes, Tehan gave it up and showed {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} for sevens full!

What a fold it was as Racener tabled a better full house with {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} . Hellmuth showed {A-Spades} {7-Spades} , needing to catch a low card to survive. He slowly peeled it and after a moment, excitedly turned over the {5-Clubs} to make a 7-6 low to keep his bracelet hopes alive.
