Teisseire Doubles In Dramatic Fashion

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Antonin Teisseire got his final 260,000 all in preflop against Michael Benvenuti. Teisseire was well behind with his {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} against the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Benvenuti. The flop was {6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the turn was the {8-Clubs}. Teisseire was down to five outs but the river {9-Clubs} delivered for him. When it hit, there was a slight delay before he gave a big shout with a very deep voice. He got up and celebrated with a couple friends on the rail before being issued a warning for excessive celebration. Benvenuti remained quiet the whole time as he slid over the chips to call, leaving himself with just 335,000.
