Hedlund Collects a Scalp

Peter Hedlund wasn't too concerned about taking a 15,000-chip hit if he lost a recent all-in confrontation. Hedlund was on the wrong side preflop, taking {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} up against a short stack's {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}. But Hedlund caught his ace on a flop of {10-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} and then never looked back. Blanks on the turn and river ended Hedlund's opponent's day and increased the chatty Swede's count to 67,000.
