Bekavac Runs Hotter Than the Sun
Jason Mangold open-shoved for 42,000, 21 big blinds, from under the gun +2. Action folded all the way to Dan Bekavac in the big blind who looked down at 
and decided to make the call with his big stack.
Jason Mangold: 
Dan Bekavac:
It looked like Bekavac would finally lose an all in when the 
hit the board, giving Mangold a set. The 
turn gave Bekavac an open-ender, and the 
river brought that straight draw in to give Bekavac the unlikely win.
"You did not just go backdoor on me," said a shocked Mangold.
*****
A few hands later, an early position player limped before another player moved all in for 32,000 in late position. Bekavac called the 32,000 on the button, and the limper folded after some deliberation.
Opponent: 
Dan Bekavac: 
"I've got diamonds covered," said the all-in player.
No one was surprised to see Bekavac flop the joint on the 
flop. He still needed to fade diamonds, which he did on the 
turn and river.
"Floor, what is going on here, this isn't normal," said a tablemate.
"Sure it is, this happens every tournament, just ask them," said Bekavac.
