Becker Knocks Out Two for Monster Stack

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Jeremy Becker
Jeremy Becker

Jeremy Becker opened the action to 3,200 from early position, and Mike Gao on his direct left three-bet shoved for just over 20,000. Sat to his left, Joseph Lebrun then moved all in for 93,500.

Action folded back to Becker, who went deep into the tank. After a good few minutes of tanking, he announced "I think this is the best hand." He thought for a few moments more before sticking in the call.

Mike Gao: J♠J♦ All in
Joseph Lebrun: 9♥9♠ All in
Jeremy Becker: A♥Q♥

Becker flopped the lead on 5♦Q♠2♠ and kept it on the 2♦K♠ runout to secure a double knockout as well as a huge chip lead over the competition.
