Bedell Makes Four Pair to Double

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was around 200,000 in the pot as Tom-Aksel Bedell and Alexander Petersen went to the turn on a board of 7♥Q♥10♦8♣. Bedell then moved all in for 120,000 on the button and Petersen called int he small blind.

Petersen showed K♠Q♣J♦3♦. "I have the eight, and a queen. Oh, and a five," Bedell said, slowly turning over Q♦10♣8♠5♦ one-by-one.

The 5♣ fell on the river and Bedell paired all of his cards, his queens and tens being good enough to take the pot and double up.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 35,000 in early position and Hans Thumann called in the hijack. Krzysztof Magott then reraised to 155,000 in the cutoff and Jouhkimainen folded, while Thumann tanked for a minute.

"Let's gamble," he eventually said as he called. He then bet enough in the dark to put Magott all in for his last 10,000, and Magott called even before the J♦9♥2♦ flop was dealt.

Krzysztof Magott: A♦K♠Q♠4♥ All in
Hans Thumann: K♣Q♥10♣10♥

Thumann remained in the lead with his pair of tens, while the 8♣ turn gave him a straight. The river was the A♦ and Magott was sent to the rail.

Martin Kabrhel took his seat at this table while this hand was in progress. "Is this Hold'em or Omaha? Omaha no good," he said.

Youness Barakat raised to 28,000 in the cutoff and Aaron Pahlawani reraised to 100,000 on the button. "I think you win," Barakat said as he moved all in for 170,000, while Pahlawani snap-called.

Youness Barakat: K♥K♣J♣4♥ All in
Aaron Pahlawani: A♠A♥8♦2♦

"I was not expecting that. But what you're not expecting is the king on the turn," Barakat said upon seeing his kings had run into Pahlawani's aces. Pahlawani hit top set on the A♦Q♠5♠ flop, while the rest of the board came 2♠9♥ to send Barakat off to the reentry desk for a fresh stack.

Tom-Aksel Bedell also recently fired another bullet.
