Pedersen and Speranza Double Up

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Simon Pedersen opened to 85,000 in early position and Yunye Lu three-bet to 260,000 in the hijack. The action folded back to Pedersen who shoved all in for 1,090,000. Lu asked for a count and then stuck in a call.

Pedersen turned over {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} which had Lu's {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} in trouble. The flop of {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} gave Pedersen a straight flush draw but it wasn't necessary as his pocket queens held up through the {4-Clubs} and {8-Clubs} runout.

In the next hand, Gianluca Speranza shoved all in for 600,000 in the hijack and Rainer Kempe confirmed the count before pushing over the top on the button. The blinds folded and the two hands were tabled.

It was a coin flip with Speranza holding {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} against the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} of Kempe. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Kempe was unable to connect as he sent over a double up.
