Bedell Needs Turn to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Daniel Tordjman raised to 250,000 in the cutoff before Tom-Aksel Bedell jammed all in for 880,000 from the small blind. Tordjman made a quick call, revealing the cards.
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♥A♣6♠2♣
Daniel Tordjman: 10♦8♠7♠3♦
"I need it against the chip," Bedell said when the table wished him good luck.
He was right, as the Q♦8♥10♥ flop made Tordjman two pair to take the lead. The A♠ turn shot Bedell back in front, however, as his set of aces locked up the pot.
The 4♣ river was rendered meaningless as Bedell regained a seven-figure stack.
