Pedersen Wins Classic Race to Bust Macori
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Helge Pedersen opened to 60,000 from middle position and just behind him, Federico Macori shoved for his last 400,000. Action folded back around to Pedersen, who quickly called to put Macori at risk.
Federico Macori: Q?Q?
Helge Pedersen: A?K?
The A?J?9? flop vaulted Pedersen into the lead with a pair of aces and the 2?7? turn and river changed nothing — awarding the rest of Macori's chips to Pedersen.
