Bedell Raises Jovanovic on the River; Tsoukernik Building a Stack

With around 25,000 already in the pot on a flop of 9♥4♠9♣, Tom Aksel Bedell bet 5,000 from the hijack and Leon Tsoukernik folded on the button, while Nenad Jovanovic put in a raise to 13,000 in the small blind.

Bedell called and both players then checked the 6♠ turn. Jovanovic led out for another 10,000 on the 4♣ river and Bedell came back with a raise to 35,000.

Jovanovic called and Bedell showed K♦K♦9♦8♣ for trip nines to win the pot.

Tsoukernik, despite playing a small role in that big pot, has more than tripled his stack since taking his seat in the tournament. Hossein Ensan, meanwhile, had no such luck today and was recently eliminated.
