Menendez Falls To Becker
Limits: 30,000/60,000
A-5 Triple Draw
Action was picked up after the first draw in a pot between Johannes Becker on the button and Frank Menendez in the hijack.
The first betting round saw Menendez bet and Becker raised which saw Menendez call.
Both players drew one on the second draw and Menendez check-called a bet from Becker.
Menendez drew one and Becker stood pat which saw Menendez check-fold to a bet from Becker, leaving himself with 5,000.
On the following hand, Menendez was forced all-in from the big blind and Becker raised from the cutoff to fold out all other players.
Both players started drawing two, then one, then both stood pat.
Frank Menendez: 9x8x5x2xAx 
Johannes Becker: 8x6x5x3xAx
The eight-six was good for Becker to take down the pot and Menendez was eliminated.
All 18 of the surviving players are now redrawing.
