Lijo Picks Off Bechtel in Ultimate Cooler
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player in early position limped in before Lander Lijo raised to 2,600 in the hijack. Jim Bechtel called in the cutoff, while the early-position player folded.
Lijo bet 3,200 on the 6♥3♥10♣ flop and Bechtel called. Both players then checked the 9♠ turn.
Lijo bet another 4,000 on the 8♣ river and Bechtel this time came back with a raise to 15,000. Lijo tanked for several minutes before calling.
Bechtel showed K♥K♠, but Lijo had A♦A♥ as he won the pot off the 1993 Main Event champion.
