Derecho Sends Bedson to the Roulette Table
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Emmanuel Derecho raised to 30,000 under the gun and Paul Volpe called in the cutoff, as did James Calderaro on the button. Daniel Bedson then put in his last 40,000 in the big blind, and Derecho potted to 185,000 to chase away Volpe and Calderaro.
Daniel Bedson: J♠J♥7♣6♠
Emmanuel Derecho: A♣Q♠Q♣5♥
Derecho was ahead with his queens, and Bedson found no help on the 6♦4♦2♣10♣3♥ board. "I'm going to go spend it on roulette, see if I can spin it up to $1.3 million," Bedson said as he headed off to collect his payout.
"If you win $1.3 million in roulette, dinner is on you," tablemate Loren Klein told him.
