Song Kun O was in the hijack and raised to 375,000. Josh Beckley was on his direct left in the cutoff and called. The button and blinds released and there was heads-up action to the flop.

Flop: — Kun O C-bet 600,000. Beckley called.

Turn: — Kun O quickly jammed 2,130,000. Beckley had the all-in bet verified. It was confirmed at 2,130,000 and Beckley cut the sum out of his stack leaving himself about 800,000 behind. Beckley called and Kun O was at risk.

Beckley: for ace-queen high with flush and straight draws
Kun O: for king-10 high

River:

Beckley’s ace-queen high was good in the 6,400,000-chip pot. Kun O was eliminated while Beckley stacked a pile of chips.

“Good call,” Kun O managed.

“Thank you,” Beckley responded.

Beckley’s chip-leading stack amounted to about 30 percent of the chips in play.

Beckley – 7,200,000
Song Kun O – Eliminated in 8th place ($14,404)
