Alabama: You still in the tournament?
Teddy: Naw, man, I got bad beat HARD, listen to this. I raise with pocket jacks, and I got like 160k, this guy calls me out of the blinds, he has like 190k. Flop comes out J42r, I bet 8k, to show him I'm not messing around, and he checkraises me all in. I'm like, OK, I call, I got jacks, and all he has is Ace-Ten. Not even a flush draw! Turn Q, river K. That's how they done me this year. I literally regurgitated. Not right there, but almost. I walked over to the garbage can and regurgitated right there. ESPN cameras were there and everything. I asked them not to show that though, so you won't be seeing that on ESPN.
Alabama: WOW! that's brutal, man.
Me: ...and quite convenient!
Teddy: Yeah, so then I go home to calm down, I come back out, I see him playing 75-150 and I'm like Man, that's the guy who took all my MONEY".
Alabama: So did you get your money back?
Teddy: That's how I always do it, in the cash games. But yeah, if I win that pot, I got 400 thousand chips, chip leader, baby! I can just coast to the final table.
Me: So...you bet 8k, and he checkraised you all in?
Teddy: Yeah, then he goes runner-runner on me.
Me: You bet 8k, and he checkraised you to 160k...with Ace-ten...on a J42 rainbow board.
Teddy: Yeah, he was trying to push me around, trying to bluff the Iceman!
Me: You should have tried flatbarreling. (Table starts laughing!)
Teddy then conveniently gets a phone call, never comes back by my table, instead sitting in a 2-5 game for about 20 minutes with what looked to be about $300, then walking around for 45 minutes , coming back,and picking up.
