Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
Jeremy Becker opened from middle position and was three-bet to 5,200 by Jeremy Hyman in the cutoff. Action folded back to Becker, who said, "Ten point eight," as he tossed in his entire stack of 10,800 into the middle. Hyman quickly called and a showdown was held.
Jeremy Becker: A♣A♦
Jeremy Hyman: A♥K♦
It was a perfect time to pick up aces for Becker, and the 9♣8♥4♦8♦6♠ runout provided him with a sweat-free runout for the double up.
