Beckman was all in and at risk with

Duong's Day Done By Quads
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
James Egerer raised and picked up a call from Benjamin Eilers one seat over. On the flop, both players checked. Egerer bet the 
turn for 28,000, and Eilers called before the 
river was checked by Egerer. Eilers bet 105,000 and forced a fold.
Soon after, a limped pot emerged with Eilers and Jack Duong in action. They got into a raising war on a 
flop, and Duong ended up as the player at risk.
Jack Duong: 
Benjamin Eilers: 
Duong had one out with the case nine in the deck, but even that miracle chance was gone on the turn, improving Eilers to quad aces. The meaningless on the river was just a formality, and Duong headed to the rail.
"These limped pots are dangerous," Scott Davies added.
