Beck Doubles Through Valden
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Robert Valden raised to 65,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 230,000 by Matthew Beck from directly behind. Action folded back to Valden, who called.
The flop came 4♦6♦2♠ and Valden stuck in a pile of t-100,000 denonimation chips into the middle to put Beck all in. Beck snap-called and hands were revealed.
Matthew Beck: A♠A♦K♥8♦
Robert Valden: K♦K♠J♥3♦
It was an aces versus kings setup, and the 4♠Q♣ runout changed nothing to award Beck the double up and leave Valden short.
