Rheem Straightens Out Becker
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With the board reading 5♦4♣7♣ and a bit over 25,000 in the middle, Chino Rheem checked from under the gun, and Jeremy Becker bet 11,000 from the cutoff, leaving 18,500 behind. Rheem called.
Both players checked the 3♣ turn, leading to the 8♥ river. Rheem bet enough to put Becker all-in, and Becker snap-called.
"The way you called so fast, you probably win" Rheem said to Becker.
"I have one pair," Becker replied. Rheem showed A♥6♥ for a straight before commenting that Becker was about to show him two clubs.
Becker teased the potential slowroll, showing just the J♣ for a moment, before turning over the J♥. Becker's overpair was no good and he was sent to the rail while Rheem took the pot. Becker reentered soon after.
