Andre Crooks raised on the button and Josh Beckley called out of the big blind. The flop was 9h6s2d and Beckley check-called 22,000 from Crooks.

The turn was the 5d and Beckley checked again. Crooks bet 68,000 and Beckley took a minute in the tank before check-raising to 165,000.

Crooks called and the river was the Qs. Beckley checked and Crooks bet 304,000. Beckley folded after a few moments in teh tank.

“I had it,” said Crooks with a smile.

He flashed what appeared to be a set of fives to Beckley before tossing his hand into the muck. Crooks chipped up to about 1 million in chips and Beckley dragged the pot.

Andre Crooks – 1,000,000
Josh Beckley – 655,000
