Action folded to Chadd Beatty in the small blind, who raised to 7,000. Shane Stoe made the call in the big blind, and Beatty continued for 4,500 on the K♠J♦5♠ flop.
Stoe called to see the K♣ turn, where both players checked. Another pair of checks followed the 2♠ river, where Stoe tabled J♣10♠ for two pair.
That was good enough to claim the pot, as Beatty slid his cards into the muck.

It has already been a successful series here at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course for RunGood Ambassador Greg Raymer, who claimed a ring in the $250 Seniors event earlier this week for $7,382.
"I basically just ran so good, so pure," Raymer told PokerNews during a break in the Main Event. "You would have to really screw it up if someone else had been in my seat getting dealt my cards and they didn't do well. I got aces or kings like five times more than the average. There was only one time I played a big pot and I put it in behind, I called someone's shove with nines and they had jacks and then even that one I sucked out and hit a nine."
"We started the final table, I had like 30 percent of the chips, a little more than that. By the time we were down to five, I had over half. Heads up, I had like 85 percent, so it was just, you know, running like God the whole tournament, which was fun. It's always fun to just run that good, hard to take a lot of credit, but always nice when it happens, and I'm hoping for the same in the Main Event."
Raymer has enjoyed his role with the RunGood Poker Series, and is taking full advantage of his time in Pennsylvania this week.
"It's been great here, the players are friendly and you know we've got this great staff because it's the same wonderful people who travel to all the around. I've had a good time at all the RunGood events, I've been to RunGood in Reno, and Tunica, and St. Louis, and several other places and it's just always, they're good events."
The 2004 WSOP Main Event champion is gearing up for another summer in Las Vegas, sharing his plans for the coming weeks as the focus changes from chasing RGPS rings to WSOP bracelets.
"As I've done every year since '04, I'm out there for the whole summer. I'll be a little bit late, I'm going to miss like the first week this year because I'm doing one of my poker training seminars in Ocala, Florida."
Once that seminar wraps up, Raymer will be back to the WSOP grind. But first, he'll be looking for a deep run and another chance at a ring this weekend at Hollywood Casino.

Randy Rineer limped from the small blind, making the call when Josh Swails raised to 5,000 in the big blind.
Rineer checked the 7♦3♣4♦ flop, and quickly called after Swails announced all in.
Randy Rineer: 6♥5♥
Josh Swails: A♣A♦
Rineer flopped a straight, taking the lead over Swails before the 6♦ turn brought some flush outs. The table reacted as the 3♦ hit the river, completing a flush for Swails to see his aces hold while knockout out Rineer.
