Pedersen Makes "Nice Call" To Double

There was a pile of chips in the middle totaling at least 100,000 with a board of with action heads up between Simon Pedersen, who was under the gun, and Jun Obara in the hijack. Pedersen had checked and Obara had put Pedersen all in for effectively what was around a pot-sized bet.

Pedersen went into the tank, using two time extensions. The second extension ran out and a third may have been enacted as Pedersen decided to announce a call.

"Nice call," said Obara, tabling . Pedersen showed .

Pedersen found himself having correctly called with top pair and needed to fade only the three remaining aces in the deck to stay alive. He would do just that on the river , locking up the double as a result. His stack was totaled to be 108,500 and Obara sent the proper amount his way, tapping the felt and looking Pedersen's way in a congratulatory fashion.
