Becker Tells the Truth
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.
