Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): 7th Place - Csik ($16,060)

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 6
Chip Average: 2,700,000

Chris Csik (Hoboken, NJ)

The hand before the break started would be the last for Chris Csik (Hoboken, NJ).  The players saw a flop (Csik and Beckley) in a raised pot of 5♦ 10♠ 9♣, with Csik leading out for 470,000.  Joshua would answer with a raise to 1,200,000, with Csik sitting stone faced as he thought about his next move.

After some time thinking, Chris would announce himself all-in, and Beckely would look his way and quickly make the call:

Beckley: 9♦ 9♠ (top set)
Csik: A♥ A♦

Turn: 8♣
River: 6♣

Csik would get up for the table with a understandably frustrated look on his face, and have to watch as the dealer and tournament supervisor cut down both stacks.  Beckley held 3,700,000 to the 3,500,000 of Csik, sending him home in 7th place ($16,060).
