Thomas Sees Through Bedell
Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell didn't hold on to his newly acquired chips very long, as he just had to send over a chunk to Julian Thomas. Steffen Sontheimer opened to 7,000 on the button and Bedell called from the small blind. Thomas reraised to 22,000 from the big blind, Sontheimer folded, and Bedell called.
Bedell checked the 
flop to Thomas, who continued with 16,000. Bedell check-raised to 36,000, and Thomas called. Bedell had no intention of slowing down, as he fired 40,000 on the 
turn and 80,000 on the 
river.
Thomas called off both of Bedell's bets, and the Norwegian qualifier showed 
for jacks and nines. Thomas tabled 
for aces up to rake in the sizable pot.
