Lightning on the River for Pederson to Score Elimination
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player in late position moved all in for 26,000 and Travis Pederson re-shoved over the top from the button. Action folded around and the late position player was at risk and racing.
Late Position: K♣Q♦
Travis Pederson: 9♠9♦
Pederson held the lead on the J♣5♦4♥ flop. But the Q♠ on the turn shifted fortunes in the hand, and the late position player was just one card away from a double-up.
But as fate runs in poker, Pederson hit his two-outer in the form of the 9♥ on the river to score the elimination.
