Lijo Picks Off Bechtel in Ultimate Cooler

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jim Bechtel
Jim Bechtel

A player in early position limped in before Lander Lijo raised to 2,600 in the hijack. Jim Bechtel called in the cutoff, while the early-position player folded.

Lijo bet 3,200 on the 6310 flop and Bechtel called. Both players then checked the 9 turn.

Lijo bet another 4,000 on the 8 river and Bechtel this time came back with a raise to 15,000. Lijo tanked for several minutes before calling.

Bechtel showed KK, but Lijo had AA as he won the pot off the 1993 Main Event champion.
