Who says Day 1 in a multi-day poker tournament isn't exciting? Try telling that to Jeremy Becker.
Becker won a six-bet hand with jack-high in a three-way monster pot on Day 1 of U.S. Poker Open Event #6: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas on Friday. The hand left Brock Wilson frustrated by a decision he made and Chino Rheem without any chips (until he rebought).
Crazy Hand of Poker
Becker, with the blinds at 500/1,000, opened from middle position by raising to 2,000 with J♠10♠, which was called by Rheem's 6♠5♠. Action then folded to Wilson in the big blind, who three-bet to 13,000, apparently with pocket aces. Both players called to see a flop of 9♠4♠8♥.
Wilson, with the nut over pair, bet out 15,000. Becker, on a combo draw, responded with a raise to 30,000, before Rheem clicked it back with a three-bet to 45,000. That sent Wilson, one of the top performers thus far at the U.S. Poker Open, into the tank, using three-time extensions, before mucking his cards and leaving 85,000 behind.
But after he mucked, Becker decided to put in a four-bet to 60,000, before Rheem re-raised again to 75,000. The hand was far from over, as "JBex" came back with a six-bet to 90,000. Rheem decided to just call the raise this time.
With both players having crumbs behind, after the K♥ appeared on the turn, Rheem moved all in, and Becker quickly called. Both players tabled their hands, which shocked the table.
When Becker called, Rheem muttered, "I have six high," which got Becker to jump out of his seat in excitement as he flashed his high-card hand, with the better flush draw. The best hand was then good enough to give him more than a double-up in Level 1, after the 2♦ completed the board. That left Wilson disgusted that he could have tripled up.
Wilson asked after the hand, "How do you both have a combo draw there?"
Chris Hunichen, also at the table, then broke down the hand for the rest of the room, saying "that was the most incredible hand I've ever seen in my entire life". Hyperbole or not, it was a crazy hand for Day 1 in any poker tournament.
The sixth event of the 2026 U.S. Poker Open, being live reported by PokerNews, had 50 entrants. Becker, at the time of publishing, was among the chip leaders. Rheem rebought following the six-bet pot loss and had lost half his second stack, while Wilson was a bit below his starting stack.
