Bedell Wins With Three Pair
Level 23
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Youness Barakat raised to 375,000 in middle position as Tom-Aksel Bedell and Leonid Yanovski came along from the blinds.
All three players checked the J♣8♦5♣ flop. Yanovski then bet 375,000 on the 9♠ turn and only Bedell called.
The Q♣ river was checked down. "Lots of pairs," Bedell said, showing K♦Q♦9♦5♠ as Yanovski mucked.
"Tom, you were drawing dead before the flop. I can't believe you won," Barakat said.
"Neither can I," Bedell replied.
