Pedersen Holds to Double
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Boris Kolev opened to 200,000 from the cutoff before Christian Pedersen three-bet to 650,000 from the big blind. Kolev moved all in as the bigger stack, and Pedersen quickly called for his tournament life, putting in 2,505,000.
Christian Pedersen: Q♥Q♣
Boris Kolev: 6♥6♦
Yuliyan Kolev was loudly calling for a six, but the dealer instead spread an unlikely flop of 9♣9♥9♠, leaving Boris needing running sixes to survive. The 3♠ turn and 4♥ river changed nothing, and Pedersen doubled up with his queens.
