Becker Spikes the River to Leave Wilson Stunned
Jeremy Becker opened the action with a raise to 4,000, before David "ODB" Baker three-bet to 10,000. Then Brock Wilson on Baker's immediate left, put in a four-bet to 26,000. It folded back to Becker, who elected to five-bet to 54,000.
Baker got out of the way, and Wilson put in a six-bet for the Becker's stack of 160,000, which he called.
Jeremy Becker: A♥Q♣ 
Brock Wilson: K♠K♥
Becker was crushed after running into the pocket kings of Wilson. The 3♦5♣J♣ flop and 5♥ turn brought no extra help for Becker. But, all he needed was the A♠ that rolled off on the river, which made Wilson jump out of his seat, screaming "NO!".
Becker took in the massive pot as Wilson was left on fumes. Baker joked with Becker, saying "You knew I three-bet you with an ace and still called it off".
