Garrett Beckman Gets the Double KO

Garrett Beckman - Event #39
Garrett Beckman - Event #39
Action folded to Garrett Beckman and he raised to 20,000. Mirza Nagji was next to act and he moved all in for roughly 70,000. Mike Spinasanta called all in for his last 40,000 and Beckman made the call as well. The players showed:

Beckman: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Nagji: {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}
Spinasanta: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

The flop was huge for Beckman as it fell {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. The turn spiced things up a bit as it dropped the {Q-Hearts}. Nagji's fate was sealed but Spinasanta had a chance to win if the river paired the board.

The river fell the {10-Hearts} and Beckman had the nuts. He eliminated both Nagji and Spinasanta from the tournament and climbed to about 480,000 chips on the hand.
