Bedell Hits the Turn, Lindstrom Spikes the River to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 180,000 in the cutoff, Fredrik Lindstrom reraised to 690,000 on the button, and Bedell called.
The flop came 9♥10♥7♦ and Lindstrom moved all in for 1,000,000. "I need diamonds," Bedell said as he called.
Fredrik Lindstrom: A♥A♠10♦8♥
Tom-Aksel Bedell: Q♠Q♦J♦6♦
Lindstrom was ahead with his aces and flush draw, but the 8♠ turn gave Bedell a straight and the lead. The river was the 3♥ and Lindstrom improved to a flush as he let out a fist pump and again wiped his brow to celebrate his double up.
