Top-Set Tehan

After a raising war to open the hand, Joe Tehan and another player went to the flop heads up with a big pot already up for grabs. When the dealer spread {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}, Tehan got the remaining 19,750 of his chips into the pot, and his opponent was right there to put him at risk with {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. Tehan's {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} was miles ahead though, and the board would run out blanks to lock up the pot. Tehan more than doubles up, sitting pretty with 70,500 now.
