Pedersen Backs Into One

Shamus
Shamus
Helge Pedersen limped in, Matt Matros raised to 14,000 from late position, and it folded back around to Pedersen who called.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Pedersen checked, Matros bet 21,000, and Pedersen called. Both checked the {Q-Hearts} turn. The river came the {10-Clubs}. This time Pedersen bet 45,000, and Matros called.

Pedersen showed pocket nines for the rivered straight, beating Matros' pocket kings. Pedersen is up to 625,000, while Matros is now just under 700,000.
