Boris Becker Faults

Boris Becker
Boris Becker
PokerStars.com representative Boris Becker and his opponent saw a heads-up flop of {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Becker was first to act, firing out a pot sized bet of 1,000 to which his opponent called in position.

The turn brought a blank in the {2-Diamonds} and Becker checked the action over to his opponent who made a bet of 1,500. Becker thought for a moment before calling.

The river landed the {J-Spades} and Becker again checked, allowing his opponent to make a small bet of 2,000. Becker counted out his chips as the media started to swarm around his table, before eventually making a crying call. His opponent flipped over {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for trips as Becker cringed and simply mucked his hand.

Becker hasn't been able to serve too many aces today, and is now left with around 4,000 in chips.
