Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship (Freeze-Out)
Level 8: 500/1,000/100 Ante

With the board showing on the river, Ryan Tepen moved all in UTG+1, and his opponent (UTG) thought for a while before calling.

Tepen turned over for runner-runner quad deuces, and his opponent sat there stunned for a few moments, reluctant to show his cards. (Though it seemed pretty clear he didn’t have pocket fours.) Tepen’s opponent eventually tried to muck, but since it was an all-in situation, the dealer flipped over his cards so everyone could see — for a full house, fours full of deuces. Tepen won the pot to double up in chips.

Ryan Tepen  –  170,000  (170 bb)

Brian Yoon  –  132,000  (132 bb)

Meanwhile, Ari Engel, who was among the chipleaders at the dinner break, has only increased the size of his chip stack to about 240,000 since then.

The always-talkative Travell Thomas, sitting at the same table, said Engel has their entire table covered, and said we just missed a big hand where Engel cracked aces with aces or something like that. Engel just smiled behind his big chip stack.
