A hand went down recently which displayed the high level of poker play that occurs deep in every WSOP tournament.
With the board reading 
and a pot of over 55,000 at stake, Andrew Teng was forced to make an extremely difficult decision. His opponent in the big blind had fired a bet of 39,500 at Teng, and the young pro who has cashed three times in this year's series, went as deep into the tank as a player can go.

After Hellmuth had cut out enough chips for a 12,000 bet, he slowly slid on his trademark black shades and resumed his death stare. The intimidation did not faze Gaskins and he came along, bringing the

The amateur had obviously been bluffed out of his shows, but knowing that the deed was done by one of the best poker players on the planet soothed his pain.
