Tom-Aksel Bedell opened to 26,000 from early position and was called by Sirzat Hissou from the hijack. Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 100,000 from the button and was only called by Bedell.

Bedell check-called for 75,000 on the 10♦8♦6♣ flop, bringing in the 2♥ turn. Bedell then check-folded to a bet of 165,000.

Kabhrel offered to show one card to his opponent, and even let him choose which one. Bedell opted for the card in Kabrhel's left hand which was the 9♦.

"The important one," said Kabhrel who raked in the pot.

With two players seeing a board of 8♥Q♥K♣10♠ and around 325,000 in the middle, Martin Kabrhel checked from the hijack and Samuel Ju bet 200,000 from the cutoff. Kabrhel, who had a bit less behind, called off with his remaining stack.

Martin Kabrhel: J♣10♣ All in
Samuel Ju: Q♣Q♦

Ju was in great shape with a set of queens and only needed to fade Kabrhel's double-gutshot to score the knockout. The 8♣ river was clean for Ju and he took the pot while Kabrhel made his exit.
