Selahaddin Bedir
Selahaddin Bedir

As recounted by Selahaddin Bedir, Bedir opened to 300 from middle position and Luis Fonseca three-bet to 1,600 on the button. Action folded back to Bedir who called.

The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Bedir checked. Fonseca bet 1,000, Bedir check-raised to 3,600, and Fonseca called.

The {5-Hearts} landed on the turn, Bedir bet 7,500, and Fonseca called.

The {10-Clubs} completed the board and Bedir jammed to put Fonseca to the test for his remaining stack of approximately 14,000. Fonseca tanked for a couple of minutes and ultimately put in the chips.

Bedir tabled {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}, while Fonseca showed {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for an inferior pocket pair, and he was sent to the rail early in the day while Bedir soared to the top of the early leaderboard.
