Bedell Sends Kamphues To The Rail In Brutal Fashion

Timo Kamphues opened to 16,000 from early position and both Tom-Aksel Bedell in the small blind, and Felipe Ketzer in the big blind made the call.

The flop fanned out 6♦4♠4♦ and Bedell elected to lead out for 28,000. Ketzer quickly got out of the way and Kamphues announced a raise to 74,000. Bedell took a moment before moving all in, well covering the roughly 200,000 total for Kamphues, who made the call for his tournament life.

Timo Kamphues: J♣J♠
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♦9♦

It was a sweat for Kamphues up against the flush draw for Bedell, but when the turn came the 4♥, it significantly reduced the outs for Bedell, who could now only hit an ace.

"There's a nice card," said Bedell sarcastically as he knew his chances to win were very slim.

The river, however, fell the A♠ and Bedell jumped out of his chair in excitement as he hit the card he needed to take the large pot and send Kamphues to the rail on the soft bubble.
