Freiholz Finds Double-Up
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Kasparas Klezys raised from the hijack and Tom-Aksel Bedell called on the button. Leon Freiholz then shipped in his stack of 540,000 from the small blind, after which Klezys four-bet all in.
"Nice hand," said Bedell as he mucked his cards to force a heads up showdown.
Leon Freiholz: A♣Q♠10♣8♠ 
Kasparas Klezys: A♦K♦Q♥5♦
Freiholz flopped a pair of eights on 8♣4♦7♣, which remained good enough to take down the pot when the 5♠ turn and 3♦ river completed the board.
