Garrett Beckman Eliminated in 31st Place ($193,000)

Garrett Beckman - 31st Place
Garrett Beckman - 31st Place
Garrett Beckman opened the action with a preflop raise to 175,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Dennis Phillips who called in the cutoff. The blinds folded and the two players went heads up to a flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Both players checked and saw a turn of {9-Clubs}. Beckman fired out a bet of 280,000 before Phillips made it 600,000 to go. Beckman moved all in and Phillips snap-called.

Beckman held {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for overcards with the nut flush draw, but would need to hit as Phillips showed {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the straight.

The river bricked the {4-Hearts} and Beckman becomes our 31st-place finisher, good for a $193,000 payday.
