Wang Walks, Bedot Banks
A massive clash between Yuanting Wang and Reece Bedot just sent shockwaves through the tournament floor, with Bedot vaulting his stack to around 3,600,000.
After the action folded to Wang in the small blind, he opened the pot, only for Bedot to respond with a three-bet to 200,000 out of the big blind. Wang wasn't done—he came back with a four-bet to 475,000, which Bedot called.
The flop came 8♠7♦8♣, and Wang instantly ripped in his remaining 750,000. Bedot barely blinked before tossing in a chip to call.
Yuanting Wang: 9♠9♥
Reece Bedot: J♠J♥
Bedot had Wang crushed and never let go. The 3♣ turn put Wang a step closer to the rail, and even though both players filled up on the 8♥ river, Bedot’s jacks full of eights left no doubt. Wang’s run ends here, while Bedot skyrockets up the leaderboard with a monster stack.
