Becker Hangs On
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Adrian Mateos jammed from the small blind and Jeremy Becker called off his stack of 750,000 from the big blind.
The 7♦6♥3♠ flop kept Becker ahead, but Mateos picked up a gutshot.
"Oh dear heavens," cried Becker, when the 9♣ turn gave Mateos a double-gutter.
"Alrrrriiight," Becker said as the board bricked out with the J♣ river, and he took in the pot.
