Becker Continues to Grow

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Johannes Becker raised to 45,000 from the hijack and was called by Rainer Kempe in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Kempe checked. Becker continued for 75,000. Kempe called.

Both players then checked the {q-Hearts} on the turn followed by the {q-Clubs} on the river.

Becker then showed {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for two pair and took down the pot after Kempe reluctantly tabled his {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a lesser two pair after being counterfeited.

Johannes Becker
Johannes Becker

Johannes Becker raised to 40,000 from the cutoff before Thomas Muehloecker re-raised to 140,000 from the small blind. Becker called.

The flop came {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Muehloecker continued for 106,000. Becker called.

Both players checked the {j-Spades} on the turn before the {7-Diamonds} completed the board.

Muehloecker bet out 115,000. Becker then moved all in for just short of two million in chips which had Muehloecker well covered.

Muehloecker went into the tank for several minutes, using up two of his time extension buttons, before finally releasing his hand to the muck.

Flush for Becker; Now Over 3 Million

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Rainer Kempe opened the button to 40,000 and Johannes Becker called from the big blind.

The flop landed {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Becker checked to Kempe who bet 35,000. Becker called, and when the turn landed the {10-Diamonds}, both players checked.

The river fell the {10-Hearts} and Becker led out for 45,000. Kempe used one of his time extension buttons, and then raised to 240,000.

Becker didn't hesitate too long before calling. Kempe tabled his {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for king-high, and Becker revealed his {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush to collect the pot.

Eights-Up for Bicknell

Level 12 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the feature table, Jack Salter raised to 45,000 on the button and both Manig Loeser and Kristen Bicknell called from the blinds.

The flop landed {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Salter continued for 50,000. Loeser and Bicknell both check-called, and then the {7-Clubs} and {2-Diamonds} checked through on the turn and river.

Loeser tabled his {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, but it would be Bicknell's {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} that would earn her the pot.
