Clemencon Completes Teska's Demise

[user140525]

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Roger Teska had close to 400,000 at dinner break and was among the chip leaders. But he cooled off big time and after dropping a few major pots was on the short side. After a player in middle position limped, Tristan Clemencon over-limped. In the small blind, Teska potted it to 22,000. The first limper called, but Clemencon had everyone exactly where he wanted them and made it 94,000 to see a flop. Teska called all in for 91,000, and after three minutes in the tank, the third player folded.

Teska: {k-Clubs} {k-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}
Clemencon: {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades}

Clemencon's aces were in the lead, but the {j-Hearts} {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} flop was huge for Teska, giving him a straight and flush redraw. The {j-Clubs} on the turn gave Clemencon two ace outs. He couldn't hit a third jack because Will Failla was busy having a heart attack that he'd folded jacks and would have made quads. And there, on the river, was the shiny {a-Diamonds} . Clemecon jumped out of his chair with a yell, issuing a few celebratory grunts while Teska stared at the board in shock.
