Bedell Passes 2 Millon

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jianwei Lin raised to 20,000 from middle position. Tom-Aksel Bedell and Ilija Savevski called from the button and big blind, respectively.

Lin continued for 25,000 on the K106 flop, and was called by both opponents. The A came in on the turn, and Savevski checked. Lin fired out 80,000, and Bedell called once more. Savevski jammed for 241,000, forcing out Lin and his 22, while Bedell snap-called.

Ilija Savevski: QJAll in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: J3

Bedell had the flush, and was ahead of Savevski's Broadway. The latter still had six outs to a higher flush, but they failed to come in on the 7 river and Savevski reported to the rail.

A couple of hands later, Bedell Q10 opened to 20,000 from the hijack and called when Roman Stoica AK made it 80,000 from the cutoff.

Bedell paired up on the Q64 flop to take the lead. He check-called for 75,000. The 5 turn checked through to the 2 river. Bedell led out 105,000 and folded out Stoica.
