Bedell Sneaks the Pot

Maxime Chilaud opened from middle position to 40,000, finding callers in Tom-Aksel Bedell in the small blind and Petre Ionescu in the big blind.

The flop came 8♣6♥9♥. Bedell checked, and Ionescu bet 180,000, leaving just 60,000 behind. Chilaud folded, but Bedell stayed in to see the 2♦ turn.

Both players checked the turn and the K♣ river, leading to a showdown.

Bedell revealed Q♣10♣ for a missed straight, but it was enough as Ionescu mucked, leaving himself short.
