Bedell Cracks Aces to Double
Level 22
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 350,000 under the gun and Vitalijs Korhs called in the hijack, as did Youness Barakat in the cutoff. Hossein Ensan then reraised to 1,375,000 in the small blind.
"I'm so tired," Bedell said as he called. Korhs folded to Barakat, who paused for a moment to consider the decision.
"Are you tired too?" Korhs joked with him, and Barakat eventually mucked. The flop came 10♠7♦5♥ and Ensan moved all in. Bedell called for 1,950,000.
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♥7♠6♥4♠ 
Hossein Ensan: A♦A♠8♣2♦
Ensan showed down aces, but Bedell improved to a straight on the 6♦ turn. The river was the K♥ and Bedell doubled up.
"You said you were tired," Barakat said to Bedell.
"Too early for sleep," Bedell replied.
