Event 14 (Day 1A): Teitelbaum Eliminated After Tough Spot

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 8 (Blinds 300/600/75)
Total Entries: 96

The last week spoke of Evan Teitelbaum (Parkland, FL), he had just turned an 8,000 stack to over 70,000.  In a hand before dinner, Evan was faced with a 17,000 bet (from a player that was all-in), with TK Miles also left to act behind.  The 17,000 was a raise of Miles' initial bet, so when Evan threw out five yellow chips (equaling 25,000), the question was posed from Miles...does that constitute a raise (since it was a qualifying amount to make a raise binding).  The floor did decide that Evan had to raise, and once he did, Miles shoved all-in for only 11,000 more.   Teitelbaum made the call, but his flush was behind both player's full houses, costing Evan a good chunk of his stack.  

Teitelbaum shoved his (10) big blind stack in pre-flop just moments ago, and was eliminated by Andrew Touchette (A5< A♣ 10).  It was definitely an unfortunate scenario for Teitelbaum, who confirmed moments ago that it was his intention to call the original bet, but threw out one extra chip than needed.  He is now in the evening's super satellite, looking to put things behind him, and earn a seat into one of the two remaining flights.
