Becker Drills the River to Survive

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Rinat Dinmukhametov raised to 3,500 under the gun before Art Peacock three-bet to 11,000 in the hijack. Glenn Becker called in the small blind, as did Dinmukhametov.

The flop came 9♣5♦9♦ and Peacock continued for 16,000. Becker then moved all in for 58,000 and Dinmukhametov folded, but Peacock snap-called.

Glenn Becker: 8♠8♥ All in
Art Peacock: 10♣10♠

Peacock was ahead with his tens and poised for the knockout as the K♠ fell on the turn, but Becker spiked the 8♣ on the river to make a full house and earn the fortunate double up.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in early position raised to 3,000 before Craig Pollak moved all in for 17,500 in the cutoff. Rinat Dinmukhametov reshoved in the small blind, and the early-position player got out of the way.

Craig Pollak: 6♥6♦ All in
Rinat Dinmukhametov: J♣J♠

Pollak found himself crushed by Dinmukhametov's jacks, and the Q♣10♠7♠9♦8♦ board improved Dinmukhametov to a straight to send Pollak to the rail.

Antonio Delacruz $1,100 Main Event Flight B

After two months on the road, Antonio Delacruz is settling in nicely here at Harrah’s Pompano Beach and heads into the second break of the day as one of the biggest stacks in the room with around 150,000.

A big chunk of that stack came in a pot against Art Peacock, where Peacock bet 12,000 on the turn and 36,500 on the river. Delacruz called him down with just third pair of eights, and Peacock could only show ace-high for a bluff.

“Well, I didn’t think he would check the ten on the flop, then lead pretty strong on the turn. It didn’t make any sense,” Delacruz said. “And then the bet was really big on the river. I was thinking, even if he had jack-nine and hit a nine, he would’ve just checked. Either he flopped top set or he didn’t have anything. I was really nervous about it, though. It was a tough call.”

Known as “Pizza Tony,” Delacruz owns a chain of pizza restaurants but regularly travels for poker, where he’s amassed nearly $600,000 in live tournament earnings despite his semi-professional status. “I just got off the road after two months. Went from Vegas to Montreal, to North Carolina, to Tulsa, then it got a little tiring so I’m taking a little break,” he said.

This is only Delacruz’s second RunGood event. He first played in Jacksonville in 2025, where he won a ring in a $400 bounty event. He’s enjoyed an up-and-down day, including the last hand right before break. “So far, so good. I just lost aces to five-six the last hand, the guy flopped two pair on me. I keep going up to 200,000, then back down to 150,000. But it’s going pretty good, I can’t complain, I guess,” he said.

“It would be nice if we could find a nice bag and win tomorrow.”

A player in the big blind three-bet to 21,200 and Will Underdown moved all in for 28,900 in early position. Joseph DiPascale then reshoved for 30,000, and the big blind called to put both opponents at risk.
