Max Le vs Evan Teitelbaum

Max Le raised from middle position to 155,000, Evan Teitelbaum reraised from middle position to 555,000, and Le called.

The flop came KdQh2h, Le checked, and Teitelbaum moved all in for 2,125,000. Le waited for a count and tanked for a while before he called all in for 1,620,000 with AdKc for a pair of kings.

But Teitelbaum turned over AhAc, and Le needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 8s, the river card was the 9s, and the aces held up for Teitelbaum to win the pot and eliminate Le in 44th place.
