Lebedev on His Way Up, Bedell on His Way Out

There was an under-the-gun open to 3,400 that Xavier Mouysset had called from the cutoff before Nikieta Lebedev three-bet all in from the small blind for 34,200. Tom-Aksel Bedell was in the big blind with only a few big blinds-worth of chips and called them off as well. The original opener folded to put action back onto Mouysset, and he confirmed the amount before quickly calling.

Tom-Aksel Bedell:
Nikita Lebedev:
Xaier Mouysset:

Bedell was the last of the three to show his cards: "I can't beat that!" he exclaimed when Mouysset tabled his nines after calling.

Lebedev then tabled his tens: "I can't beat that either!" Bedell said. The board ran out to give Lebedev a set on the flop, earning his double and a little bit more without any resistance, and is off to a good start on Day 2 having chipped up to around 80,000 after starting the day with just 18,300.
