Beck and His Origami Bird Snap One Off With Kings
Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 1,800 in middle position before Philip Beck three-bet to 6,600 in middle position. The small blind then moved all in for around 20,000, Lichtenberger folded, while Beck snap called.
All-In Player: Q?Q? 
Philip Beck: K?K?
Beck had woken up with kings to leave his opponent at risk of elimination as the board ran out 2?2?8?A?10?, securing the pot for Beck and sending the small blind to the rail.
"I wasn't going to do this unless I doubled up or something," Beck said as he got up from his seat.
"Backflip?" Lichtenberger joked.
"I don't do flips. When I was in line to register on Friday, I met a sweet lady who made this. It keeps you zen," Beck added as he took a blue Origami bird figurine out of his backpack and placed it on top of his chips.
