Becker Doubles Up
Level 7
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jeremy Becker moved all in for his stack of 25,000 form early position, and it folded to the big blind Joey Weissman, who gave it some thought.
Becker said "let me sweat with you" as Becker peaked over, and said "I think you should call".
After a few more moments, Weissman owed a time extension and said, "Oh no, I used an extension?".
Becker finally said, "I promise I don't have a queen or eight in my hand", and that seemed enough to convince Weissman, who made the call.
Jeremy Becker: 4♦4♣ 
Joey Weissman: Q♣8♣
Becker was honest, and it was a flip for his tournament life, and his pocket fours would hold strong on the A♦5♥7♥2♠K♣ runout to double up.
