Tedeschi Gets a Near Double-Up
Paul Tedeschi opened for 1,300 from late position and was called by a player in the cutoff. The button then three-bet to 3,600, forcing the blinds out but getting calls from Tedeschi and the late-position player.
Action checked to the button on a flop of 9?6?8? and he continued for 12,000. Tedeschi made the call while the late position player, after some thought, got out of the way.
The J? turn saw Tedeschi lead out, first attempting to move all in before being told the maximum he could bet was 36,100. That left Tedeschi with only a few chips behind but his opponent just called rather than getting it all in.
Tedeschi did move the remainder of his stack into the middle after the J? river completed the board. Despite the small amount needed to make the call, the button player decided he could not be winning and mucked to hand Tedeschi a near double-up.
