Nick Yunis raised UTG+1 to 35,000, Mike Beasley moved all in from the hijack for 40,000, and Nick Palma moved all in over the top from the small blind. Yunis folded.

Beasley turned over Jh10h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Palma’s 9s9d.

The board came 9h7s6h5h2s — Palma flopped a set of nines, but Beasley turned a jack-high flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

Mike Beasley  –  147,000  (9 bb)
