Bedoui Eliminates Meiri to Extend Vast Chip Lead
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Aviv Meiri opened to 1,200 from the hijack, Mahmoud Bedoui called from the button, and Patrick El Kallas defended from the big blind.
The flop came 4♥8♥2♦. El Kallas checked, Meiri bet 2,500, Bedoui called, and El Kallas called.
Meiri continued for 11,000 when checked to on the 4♣ turn. Bedoui raised to 25,000, El Kallas folded, and Meiri shoved for a bit more. Bedoui nearly beat him into the pot.
Aviv Meiri: 5♦4♦ 
Mahmoud Bedoui: 6♠4♠
Both players had trips with a small kicker, and a chop seemed likely until the 6♥ river improved Bedoui to a full house to eliminate Meiri and add more chips to his already substantial stack.
