Beckley Building a Stack
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 2,000 and Jeff Beckley three-bet to 5,000 in the hijack. Under the gun called and the flop came 3♠Q♦8♣.
Action checked to Beckley, who bet 5,000, and his opponent called, bringing the 5♠ turn. Under the gun check-called again, this time for 13,000.
On the 7♣ river, under the gun checked for a third time, and Beckley tossed out 13,000 again, a bet that represented about half of his opponent's remaining stack.
Under the gun went into the tank, eventually making the call, only to see the bad news when Beckley turned over A♣A♥.
