| 2016 WSOP Main Event runner-up Joshua Beckley usually takes his time with decisions, but was very deliberate about his course of action against former chip leader Andrew Davis. |
With all of the tables in the tournament field, we've been lucky to witness two of the largest pots of the day. At Table 4, there would be a three-way hand, between Elliot Zaydman, Joshua Beckley, and Andrew Davis. We approached the hand on the river, with Zaydman already all-in (he was all-in pre-river), with the board reading A♥ A♦ 7♠ 2♦ 6♥.
There was already 500,000 in the pot, and on the river, Davis announced himself all-in. This is the same Davis who had over 1,000,000 just one level ago, and had Beckley covered. Now although Joshua was covered, the stack sizes were very similar, causing Beckley to go deep into the tank. Joshua had close to double average, and wasn't just going to make a decision without thinking things through. He ended up taking close to five minutes, with the table being very respectful of the amount of time used up, understanding the enormity of the situation.
Eventually, Joshua would make the call, and turn over 7♦ 7♣ (having flopped a full house). Davis just stared down at Beckley's hand, making no movement for close to twenty seconds. There was no slow-roll coming, Andrew was just in shock that his 2♣ 2♥ (turned full house) was beat. After Beckley's stack was matched by Davis, and the main pot was pushed his way, Joshua claimed the top spot on the Day 2 leaderboard.
Joshua Beckley - 1,900,000 (118bb)
Andrew Davis - 160,000 (10bb)
