Godfrey Gone

Ed Godfrey raised to 25,000, and Virgil Beddingfield pushed all in for about 120,000. Godfrey, who only had a few more chips than Beddingfield, made the call.

Godfrey had {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, and Beddingfield {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The flop was good for Godfrey -- {J-Spades}{A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. But the {7-Clubs} on the turn gave it back to Beddingfield. The river was the {10-Diamonds}, and Beddingfield bumped up to 240,000. Godfrey, meanwhile, was running on fumes with just 5,000 -- less than one big blind. He'd be eliminated on the following hand.
