Bean Over a Million

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded around to the button where Stylianos Frangeskos opened with a raise to 31,000. Ron Bean was in the small blind and he three-bet, making it 81,000. Action folded back to Frangeskos who called.

The flop was {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Bean bet 50,000. Frangeskos instantly called.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and Bean slowed down and checked. Frangeskos made it 100,000 and Bean called.

Both players checked on the {6-Clubs} river. Frangeskos showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} but it was no good as Bean was holding {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for an overpair to the board. He would take down the pot and move over 1,000,000 chips.
