Beckenstein Continues to Build with Elimination of Costa
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kohei Arai raised to 160,000 in middle position with Q♣J♦ and Ruben Costa ripped all in for 1,250,000 on his left. Joshua Beckenstein flat-called in the hijack and the rest of the table folded including Arai.
Ruben Costa: K♥Q♥
Joshua Beckenstein: 9♠9♥
It turned out to be a coin flip and the flop of Q♠9♣2♠ left Beckenstein in firm hold with a set of nines. The 7♣ on the turn left Costa drawing dead to the 10♦ on the river.
