A Magical Turn

Teddy "The Iceman" Monroe
Teddy "The Iceman" Monroe
From late position, Teddy "The Iceman" Monroe opens the betting with a raise to 2,500. Jean-Robert Bellande gives him action from the small blind, putting in the call and going heads up to the flop.

It comes down {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. Bellande bets out 3,200, and The Iceman raises it up to 7,000. Bellande calls.

The turn comes the {10-Spades}. Bellande checks to the aggressor, and Monroe puts out 15,000 chips, enough to cause his opponent to instantly muck his hand.

The Iceman says, "That was a magical turn," and shows the {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. He pulls in the pot and chips his way up near the 40,000 mark.
