Bedoui Back to Starting, Hyul Hits the Rail

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Players were already three-way in a hand and on the river with a main pot of around 10,000. The board read 38QK4, and Jiwoo Hyul was all in and at risk of elimination from the cutoff. He was down to his last ~2,000 after calling off bottom set against Mahmoud Bedoui in the first level of the day and taking a real hit.

He was in the hand with Bedoui, who was sitting in the small blind, and Marcel Rettich in the big blind. The pair were playing with a side pot of 25,000. On the river, there was a 30,000 bet made by Bedoui, and Rettich called.

Jiwoo Hyul: AJAll in
Mahmoud Bedoui: A10
Marcel Rettich: 88

Rettich took the pot after tabling his pocket eights as he flopped the set. Bedoui showed his ace-ten, and Hyul was left to hit the rail in the first level.
