We caught the action after the preflop betting was complete and it was a three-way all in at Table 2 with Mike Beasley holding the biggest stack.

Beasley:
Kunkle:
Short stack:

The shortest stack had the best hand and faded the flop. Beasley took the lead on the turn and Kunkle asked the dealer for a jack. It came on the river to give Kunkle the Broadway straight and the win. The short stack was all in for 40,000 and knocked out while Beasley paid off the remaining 23,500 for Kunkle’s better hand.

Shawn Kunkle – 168,000 (67 bb)
Mike Beasley – 15,000 (6 bb)

Ryan Van Sanford was down close to the felt and moved all in for his single remaining 5K chip. He picked up one caller and was ahead with against . But that did not last long when the flop left him drawing micro-thin. The turn locked up the hand and he went out late in Flight C.

And the neighboring table, SHRP regular Francis Margaglione was almost all in but his opponent had the shorter stack. The chips went in after the flop and his top flopped pair was not looking good against . Tablemate Uri Kadosh was calling for a jack for his friend but the turn and river left Margaglione with dust and he was gone soon after.
