Becker Tells the Truth

Adam Lamers

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With the straddle employed, Michael Berk raised to 14,000 on the button. Jeremy Becker used a time bank before moving all in for 133,500 in the small blind. Cherish Andrews reshoved all in from the big blind which got the straddle and Berk to fold.

Neither player wanted to show their cards and the dealer proceeded to run out the board. The flop came 9♥7♥4♥ and Becker announced that he had a flush, although many at the table did not believe him.

The 9♠ and J♣ completed the board and Becker whipped over Q♥J♥ to show that he indeed had a flush. Andrews rechecked her cards and then tossed them into the muck as she passed over half of her stack.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, Victoria Livschitz and Murtaza Muzar got all of their chips in the middle with Livschitz at risk for around 60,000. She turned over the best hand and was in a great position to double up.

Victoria Livschitz: Q♠Q♥ All in
Murtaza Muzar: J♥J♣

The flop fell 5♠4♠2♣ and Livschitz was still in the lead with the better of the two pocket pairs. However, the J♦ peeled off on the turn which flipped the script. The 6♥ completed the board and Livschitz was headed to the rail while Muzar stacked the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Cherish Andrews put on the straddle and the action folded to Jeremy Becker in the big blind who made it 14,000 to go. Andrews picked up her hand and then decided to throw it away, but Becker gave the option to "PLO it". Andrews agreed and all four of their cards were mixed together before throwing the J♠5♥3♣2♣ face up for everyone to see.

After a few seconds had passed, Chino Rheem was still puzzled and had to inquire. "Wait. What did you raise with?" Rheem asked.

"I forget what I had," Becker chuckled.

"I had five-deuce," Andrews piped up.

"The whole point of PLO-ing it is for them not to know!" Becker quipped back.

"Now she knows the rules," Rheem replied.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the straddle on, Manig Loeser raised to 6,000 on the button and Neil Warren three-bet to 14,000 in the small blind. Andrew Lichtenberger called from the big blind which allowed the straddle to come along as well. Loeser called to complete the action and the flop of Q♦5♣2♦ hit the felt.

The action checked around and the 7♥ landed on the turn. Warren led out with a bet of 20,000 and picked up calls from Lichtenberger and the straddle. The river was the Q♣ and Warren sized up a bet of 80,000. Lichtenberger announced all in, forcing the straddle to fold, but Warren instantly called off the remaining 7,500 chips in front of him.

Lichtenberger turned over A♥Q♥ for trip queens but it was no match for the 7♠7♣ of Warren which made a full house. Lichtenberger was left with just 2,000 chips following the hand and headed to the registration desk shortly after.

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading A♣10♥8♥9♠, Darren Elias led out with a bet of 25,000 from the small blind into a pot of around 70,000. Brock Wilson was on the button and jammed all in for 90,500. Elias used one of his time banks before dropping in chips to call.

Darren Elias: A♥Q♦ All in
Brock Wilson: A♠10♦ All in

Wilson flopped two pair which left Elias drawing thin with top pair and a straight draw. The river was the 6♠ and both players had the exact same amount of chips, sending Elias to the registration desk for a second entry.

The Straddle Has Been Deployed!

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The PokerGO team is testing a new feature that allows players to place a live straddle from under the gun voluntarily. It will be in play for the first four levels of the tournament and players wasted little time in getting their degenerate gamble on.

David Coleman placed the live straddle of 2,000 and Jesse Lonis limped in from the small blind. The big blind also tagged along and Coleman checked his option. The flop came A♠5♣2♥ and Lonis led out with a min-bet of 1,000. The big blind folded and Coleman called, albeit it took him 10 seconds.

"It's a 1k bet," Lonis pleaded. "It took you 10 seconds."

"That's what we've come to," Coleman responded. "Complaining about me taking 10 seconds."

The turn was the J♥ and Lonis fired in another bet of 4,000. Coleman promptly folded and Lonis raked in the pot.
