Roshan Brown

After a flop of 5s3d2c with about 25K in the pot, Dan Bekavac was in the big blind, and Roshan Brown was UTG with a bet of 75,000 in front of him.

Bekavac raised to 200,000, and Brown thought for a while before he called. It looked like he thought that would put him all in, but he still had 36,000 left behind.

The turn card paired the board with the 5h, and Bekavac bet enough to put Brown all in. Brown tanked for a while before he called all in for 36,000 with As4s for a flopped five-high straight.

Bekavac turned over 6h6c for two pair, sixes and fives, and Brown needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card was the Ah, and the straight held up for Brown to win the pot and double up in chips.

Roshan Brown  –  500,000  (125 bb)
Dan Bekavac  –  750,000  (188 bb)

With approximately 423 players remaining from a field of 2,010, the average chip stack is about 238,000 (60 big blinds). The final 252 players will finish in the money, earning at least $5,650 each.
