Jason Beaulieu

Jason Beaulieu and Rob Kawada went to the turn on a board of 6♣9♦3♣8♦ when Beaulieu bet 12,000 from the big blind. Kawada then raised to 26,000 in the hijack, and Beaulieu called.

The river was the 7♥ and Kawada bet 130,000, enough to put Beaulieu all in. Beaulieu tanked for a minute until calling for his last 93,500.

Kawada showed Q♣9♠ for top pair, but Beaulieu had rivered a straight with 9♣5♦ to win the pot and double up.

All-in Player: A♦K♦ All in
Mike Kelly: K♥K♠

The at-risk player was looking for an ace to stay alive, but Kelly's kings stayed in the lead through the 10♥8♣3♦8♥10♦ board to earn him the knockout.

The big blind then bet 17,000, and Spier quickly called once more. The big blind could only show A♣10♦ for ace-high, while Spier turned over Q♣J♣ for a flopped flush to win the pot.
