Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Thomas Beckstead open-shoved for 178,000 in middle position, Tom Alner called near the button, and all of the other players folded.
Beckstead: 
Alner: 
Beckstead was in trouble, until the dealer fanned 
. Alner was nearly drawing dead, and the hand was officially over when the 
turned. A meaningless 
completed the board, and Beckstead doubled to 420,000 chips. Alner dropped to 445,000.
