Tran Gets Some Back From Teitelbaum

Picking up with the action on the turn, the board reads [KhTd4hKc] and there is already at least 40,000 in the middle. Evan Teitelbaum leads into the pot for 22,500 and Cuong Tran flats the bet. Lily Kiletto thinks on her action for a moment before folding her hand.

While Kiletto folds, she flashes her cards for a second but does not fully expose them. As Tran may have seen her hand and that would give him more information than Teitelbaum has, the tournament director is called over to make a ruling. The floor staff rules that Kiletto’s hand must be exposed and her [QhQc] is shown to the table before being placed into the muck.

Kiletto shrinks in her seat when she sees that the river card is the [Qd], which would give her queens full of kings if she were still in the hand. Meanwhile, Teitelbaum announces an all in bet and Tran snaps him off for his own tournament life. 

Tran shows [KsTh] for kings full of tens and Teitelbaum mucks his cards. 

"You feel better?!" says an exasperated Tran to Kiletto as he stands up from his chair in excitement. Tran is able to secure a full double and now sits around 160,000. 

Cuong Tran – 160,000
Evan Teitelbaum – 150,000
