Evan Teitelbaum found the perfect spot to double up his stack. Pocket queens against a big-stacked Ryan Sherman with ace-rag.

By the time the board was out, the former SHRP champ was standing by his seat waiting for a payout slip after Sherman paired his ace.

Event 6 is down to 37 players and it’s a race to which will get here first, breaking down to four tables or the 40-minute dinner break.

It was a longer process than normal with several hands going the distance over time. It took four hands to put the field in the money but not before Mike LaRocca found a double up.

After a flop, Evan Teitelbaum opened to 32,000 and that was followed up by a raise to 64,000 by another opponent. LaRocca responded with a shove for 126,000, Teitelbaum released, and the other opponent called. LaRocca was looking good with against and dodge the turn/river to double.

Two hands later, Marcus Stein called an all-in for 41,000 and sat back to wait while the rest of the tables finished their action. Once they tabled the cards, Stein saw he was racing with against and he hit the flop. The turn changed nothing and they were in the money after the river.
