Matthew Giannetti starts off the action, making what has become the standard table raise of 10,500. Incredibly, both Craig Marquis and Danny Smith push all in behind for 59,500 and 44,000 respectively leaving Giannetti with a tricky decision.

All in preflop with pocket eights against Pershad's A-Q, Beckman was dealt a very friendly
board to give him a better straight than Pershad who was playing the board, and keep his head above water.
