Big Stax 300 (Day 1D): Beckley v. Rocha

Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/100)
Total Entries: 1,449

Joshua Beckley
We approached Table 54 as a hand was beginning between Alex Rocha and Joshua Beckley.  Rocha opened the pot, with Beckley calling in position.  The dealer placed down a flop of J♣ J 10, with the action following check-check.  After the Q on the turn, Rocha bet 3,300 and Beckley made the call.  Things got interesting after the river 7, when Alex check-raised Joshua's 4,500 river bet to 15,000.

Beckley was in the tank for close to five minutes, looking like if he may fold on numerous occasions.  He would eventually make the call, and it would be the right one, as his K♠ J♠ bested the A♠ 8♠ of Rocha.

Rocha would be left with less than 8,000 after losing the pot, with Beckley chipping up to 60,000.
