Bejjani Cracks Aces For a Miracle Double
Yves Bianchetti raised to 40,000 under the gun before Tom-Aksel Bedell three-bet to 110,000 in middle position. "300 exactly," Kamal Bejjani said as he moved all in from the cutoff. Bianchetti folded, while Bedell snap-called.
Kamal Bejjani: A♦K♦
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♥A♠
Bejjani had run into aces with his tournament life on the line as the flop came Q♦5♠9♦, giving him some hope with a flush draw. The 10♦ fell on the turn and Bejjani completed his flush to leave Bedell drawing dead heading to the 8♦ river.
"You wait all day for aces and you lose," tablemate Candido Cappiello said to Bedell.
