Beckers Stays Alive
Ken Beckers was forced all in on the big blind for his last 10,000. Sven Wedekin raised under the gun to 40,000 and saw calls from Raymond Padgett in early position and Brandon Mitchell from middle position.
The flop came 4♠5♥5♦ and Wedekin led out for 30,000. Padgett then went all in for 120,000. Mitchell folded, and Wedekin snap called.
Ken Beckers: J♠3♠
Raymond Padgett: 8♣8♦
Sven Wedekin: J♦J♥
Padgett was in trouble and needed to hit an eight or miracle running cards for a straight to stay alive. No help when the K♠ came on the turn, but this did give Beckers some hope of staying alive.
The 6♠ fell on the river and gave Beckers a flush, but was no help to Padgett, who was sent to the cage. Wedekin was happy to be pushed the big side pot, leaving Beckers scooping in a bowl of rice, but still happy to be alive.
