Bejjani Cracks Aces For a Miracle Double
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Yves Bianchetti raised to 40,000 under the gun before Tom-Aksel Bedell three-bet to 110,000 in middle position. "300 exactly," Kamal Bejjani said as he moved all in from the cutoff. Bianchetti folded, while Bedell snap-called.
Kamal Bejjani: A?K? 
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A?A?
Bejjani had run into aces with his tournament life on the line as the flop came Q?5?9?, giving him some hope with a flush draw. The 10? fell on the turn and Bejjani completed his flush to leave Bedell drawing dead heading to the 8? river.
"You wait all day for aces and you lose," tablemate Candido Cappiello said to Bedell.
