Bedell Wins With King-High; Brzezinski Folds to Pressure
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 200,000 on the button. Mykhailo Ostash called in the big blind and checked the 5♦9♣6♣ flop over to the initial raiser. Bedell checked back, prompting Ostash to take a stab of 175,000 on the 10♠ turn.
Bedell wanted to see a river and flicked in a call, after which the duo checked to showdown when the A♣ completed the board. Ostash showed Q♦8♥ for queen-high, but Bedell's K♣J♥ was slightly better as he was shipped the pot.
The next hand, Tomasz Brzezinski upped the price of play to 200,000 on the button with 6♦6♣. Ostash three-bet to 800,000 in the small blind with A♦6♥, getting Brzezinski to muck his pocket pair.
