Lijo Picks Off Bechtel in Ultimate Cooler

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jim Bechtel
Jim Bechtel

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.
