Beck and His Origami Bird Snap One Off With Kings

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 1,800 in middle position before Philip Beck three-bet to 6,600 in middle position. The small blind then moved all in for around 20,000, Lichtenberger folded, while Beck snap called.

All-In Player: Q♠Q♥ All in
Philip Beck: K♠K♥

Beck had woken up with kings to leave his opponent at risk of elimination as the board ran out 2♣2♠8♣A♠10♣, securing the pot for Beck and sending the small blind to the rail.

"I wasn't going to do this unless I doubled up or something," Beck said as he got up from his seat.

"Backflip?" Lichtenberger joked.

"I don't do flips. When I was in line to register on Friday, I met a sweet lady who made this. It keeps you zen," Beck added as he took a blue Origami bird figurine out of his backpack and placed it on top of his chips.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kurtis Tinfow opened to 1,800 from early position and then called after a player three-bet to 4,500 from middle position.

Tinfow checked following the K♣Q♣9♦ flop. His opponent continued for 3,500 only to see Tinfow put in a raise to 11,000. That was enough to convince the middle position player to get out of the way as Tinfow added some more chips to his large stack.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With the flop reading 3♣8♥6♥, Marco Johnson had bet 7,800 chips into a pot of 10,200 from middle position, after a check from Kazuhiro Shirasawa in the big blind.

Shirasawa then jammed all in for 33,700, sending Johnson into the tank. Eventually, he made the call to put his Japanese opponent at risk.

Kazuhiro Shirasawa: 8♠3♠ All in
Marco Johnson: 7♣6♣

The 5♦ turn brought Johnson a straight draw, but the 2♣ river did nothing to help Johnson, doubling up Shirasawa.

Jeff McMillan

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was on the river as the board read 8♥K♥K♦7♦4♥. Sean Ragozzini was in the midst of a decision for his tournament life from the button as Sergi Reixach, who was in the cutoff, had bet enough to put him all in with a pot of just over 100,000 in it.

Ragozzini had about 29,000 behind and stewed it over for several moments before he folded to preserve his remaining stack.

--
A few hands later at the loaded table 634 in the gold section, Felipe Ramos took out Wesley Haymond when his QxQx busted KxJx on a board of 7xKx8x8xQx after a river shove from Haymond and snap call from Ramos.
