Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
"I might be going broke this hand!" Jeremy Becker may be able to see the future.
Becker could be heard chirping to Jeremy Ausmus as the two played a heads-up pot on a board of 5♠7♥2♥6♠.
"I might be going broke this hand! There's nothing you can do!" Becker said as Ausmus bet 75,000.
Becker then announced "all you can eat" and raised all in. Ausmus mulled it over a bit before calling, and you won't believe what he had.
Jeremy Becker: XxXx 
Jeremy Ausmus: 9♦8♦
Becker was against the stone nuts and was left muttering "I'm dead, I'm dead" as the 7♦ river bricked off before saying that he actually had straight flush outs and showing 7♠4♠ in what Ausmus later called a "re-slow roll."
It was a light-hearted clash as far as slow rolls go and it brought laughs from those at the table like Kristen Foxen and Cary Katz.
"He was kind of asking for it," said Ausmus. "That's maybe the most I've ever slow rolled anyone ever in 22 years."
Ausmus immediately put on his content creator hat after the hand, which he caught on video. "That one's going to go viral."
"I can't wait to see the Becker slow roll," Chino Rheem said from another table.

Brock Wilson opened to 20,000 in the cutoff and Joao Simao three-bet to 70,000 in the small blind. Wilson called.
Simao bet 40,000 on the flop of 7♣7♠8♥ and Wilson called. Simao then moved all in on the 10♠ turn and Wilson beat him into the pot with a stack of 216,000.
Brock Wilson: A♦A♣
Joao Simao: Q♦Q♥
Wilson had the better overpair as the 4♥ river bricked off to earn the recent PokerGO Cup champion a double.
"The Brock heater continues," commented Justin Zaki.
