Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Selahaddin Bedir raised to 25,000 in the hijack and was called by Jinho Hong on the button, as well as small blind Ghassan Bitar. Pedro Marques, in the big blind, then three-bet to 120,000, leaving himself just 15,000 behind.
Bedir four-bet to 210,000 and Hong moved all in for 350,000. Bitar used two time banks before deciding to get out of the way, but Bedir called to create a three-way all-in pot.
Pedro Marques: K?K?
Jinho Hong: A?Q?
Selahaddin Bedir: J?10?
Marques was far ahead with his kings heading to the flop, which came Q?2?5?. The board ran out 5?8? and he tripled up, while Hong took the side pot off Bedir with his flopped pair of queens.
