Roger Teska

Roger Teska raised UTG+1 to 1,000, Steve Karp reraised from the small blind to 4,300, and Teska called.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of Qc8d2s7s, Karp checked, Teska bet 4,000, and Karp called.

The river card paired the board with the Qh, Karp checked, Teska bet 10,000, and Karp thought for a while before he called. Teska showed JsJd to win the pot with two pair, queens and jacks, and Karp mucked.

Roger Teska  –  166,000  (415 bb)
Steve Karp  –  21,000  (53 bb)
