Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jeremy Becker opened from under the gun and Chad Lipton folded Ax6x face-up from the big blind, leading Becker to show A♣K♣.
The next hand, Jon Swift opened in early position and Becker defended out of the big blind.
Becker checked on the flop of K♠Q♥7♠ and Swift continued for 12,000. Becker called. Becker check-called again on the 9♠ turn as Swift sized up to 60,000.
Becker checked once more on the A♠ river and Swift used a time bank before moving all in as Becker snap-folded to hold onto his stack of around 240,000.
