Derwiche Runs into Aces, Then Loses Another
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
There was an open to 2,000 before Imad Derwiche three-bet to 10,000 from the button. Jan Bednar called off his short stack from the big blind, and the original raiser folded.
Jan Bednar: 
Imad Derwiche: 
It was the ultimate preflop cooler for Derwiche but a delight for Bednar. The 
runout ensured the aces remained ahead.
The very next hand, more chips escaped Derwiche's stack. He opened to 1,500 from the cutoff and then called when Pierre Gineste made it 4,500 from the button.
The 
flop checked through to the 
turn. Derwiche bet 5,000 but folded when Gineste made it 11,000.
