Garrett Beckman Doubles Through Dennis Phillips

[user40108]

Garrett Beckman open-raised all in for 870,000 from middle position. Dennis Phillips called from the button and the blinds passed. With action complete, the players showed:

Beckman: {K-Diamonds}

Phillips:

Beckman caught a piece of the {J-Diamonds}

flop, but not enough to take the lead. The {J-Hearts}

on the turn however put him ahead. Phillips needed a queen to win the hand and eliminate Beckman, but the river was the {K-Clubs}

giving Beckman an even bigger full house.

Beckman doubled to just short of two million while the hit to Phillips' stack left him with just shy of nine million in chips.

Point/Counterpoint

[user37786]

Darus Suharto raised to 160,000 and Chris Klodnicki reraised to 600,000. Suharto then bumped it a wee bit, to 2.1 million.

That's when Klodnicki open-folded {A-Diamonds}

. Suharto showed his pocket kings and said, "You owe me two now," referring to an earlier time when he showed his hand after Klodnicki folded.

As Suharto scooped the pot, there was a bit of confusion as a single 25,000 chip was sitting in-between Suharto and Dean Hamrick. They weren't sure who it belonged to, so Suharto and Hamrick agreed to Roshambo for it, until floorman Steve Frezer came over and said, "Ah, no, you're not doing that." They went to check the security cameras to find where the chip's true home is.

as he folded too.

Matusow said he folded {A-?}

as Rheem stacked the pot.
