Level 11 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 42,000 under the gun. In the hijack, Nikolaos Lampropoulos made it 147,000 to go, after which the action folded back to Bedell.

He quickly put Lampropoulos all-in for around 250,000, which the Greek player snap-called.

Nikolaos Lampropoulos: A♦A♣K♠Q♠ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: Q♦J♦10♥5♥

Bedell flopped two pair, a flush draw, and a straight draw on Q♥9♦5♦ to take massive lead over Lampropoulos' aces.

The 6♥ turn and 7♣ river did not help either player, resulting in Lampropoulos' exit shortly before the night's end.
