Nachtwey Takes and Takes From Bekavac

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was heads up with more than 25,000 in the pot and {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs} on the board when Alexander Nachtwey bet 10,000 and Dan Bekavac immediately raised to 25,000. Nachtwey called and the turn was {6-Diamonds}.

Nachtwey check-called when Bekavac continued for 50,000. The river was {k-Spades}.

Both players checked the river and Nachtwey turned over {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} to take the pot with kings full of sixes while Bekavac tossed the losing hand in the muck.

A short time later, it was reported to PokerNews that Bekavac lost another chunk of chips to Nachtwey when his aces full wasn't enough to beat Nachtwey's quads.
