| Teddy Geddes (Mattapan, NY) |
The first hand was picked up pre-flop with Andrew Lauer raising to 25,000 and getting Teddy and Michael Lavoie call in the small and big blind.
Both the blinds would check the [3s][2s][6s] flop and Lauer would fire out a continuation bet of 35,000.
Teddy would call and then Lavoie would move all-in having both players well covered.
Lauer would fold and Teddy would snap call, turning over [As][9s], with Lavoie drawing dead holding [Ks][10s].
Lavoie would hit his flush on the [4s] turn, but it wouldn't matter as Teddy already held the nuts. He'd be doubling up moving close to the 500,000 chip mark, but would be no where close to done as he was taking out Daniel Lobel in the very next hand.
That hand was picked up on a flop of [8s][Qs][10s] with Lobel leading out for 25,000.
Teddy would then raise to 60,000 from the button and after a few moments of thought, Lobel would call.
The turn would bring the [2c], effectively changing nothing due to the board texture and Lobel would check to Teddy, who would bet out 105,000.
Lobel thought for nearly a minute and a half before announcing himself "all-in" with Teddy again snap calling and tabling [Ks][2s] for a flopped second nut flush.
Teddy's opponent would again be drawing dead, as Lobel said, "Just didn't think you could have it again." before tabling [Qh][9h].
The meaningless river would get dealt and Teddy would be taking in another massive pot, which would put him up and over the 1,000,000 chip mark.
Teddy will likely coast to the Final Table and most likely one of the top spots in Event 5 unless he gets brutally unlucky as he controls close to 30% of the total chips in play and has a sizable advantage on his closest competitor.
