Vihikainen Hits the Last Ace to Double Off Bedell
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Yusuf Kumtepe raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and Tom-Aksel Bedell called on the button. Aki Vihikainen then reraised to 340,000 in the big blind and both opponents called.
The flop came 6♣4♠4♦ and Vihikainen bet 260,000. Kumtepe called, but Bedell then raised all in. Vihikainen called for 1,240,000 and Kumtepe got out of the way.
Aki Vihikainen: A♥A♣K♣4♥ 
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♠Q♥4♣2♠
"Come on, spades," Bedell pleaded as both he and Vihikainen showed trip fours, but Vihikainen spiked the A♦ on the turn to make a full house.
"How is that possible," Bedell lamented as the Q♠ completed the board on the river, earning Vihikainen a double up.
"Bye, bye," Bedell said as his chips were pushed across the table.
