Pedersen Claims It
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Yuliyan Kolev opened from the button to 240,000, and Christian Pedersen in the big blind made the call.
On the 2♦2♥J♣ flop, Pedersen check-raised Kolev’s bet of 165,000 to 500,000, and Kolev called.
The Q♣ turn, and the 5♣ river both went check.
At showdown, Kolev said, “I have the feeling you have a queen.” As Pedersen was first to show, he tabled A♦J♦ for two pair, jacks and deuces. Kolev paused as if to reveal his hand, double-checked his cards, then mucked them face down, conceding the pot.
