Pentefountas Eliminated, Beecher Rues Folding
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nicholas Beecher opened from under the gun to 4,000 and, just two seats to his left, Ioannis Pentefountas moved all in for 30,000. The action then folded to Kenneth Heaton in the cutoff, who also chose to move all in, his stack sitting at 62,000.
Beecher spent a moment deliberating but ultimately decided to part ways with his pocket jacks.
The two remaining players revealed their cards, and it transpired that Beecher had made a correct fold.
Ioannis Pentefountas: 10♦10♣ 
Kenneth Heaton: K♦K♣
Beecher went from a man of contentment to a man of regret, as the dealer spread a 7♠8♠J♦ flop. Crucially, though, Heaton still had the lead.
It would stay that way on the 6♦ turn and the 8♦ river, sealing Pentefountas' fate, late into Day 2.
