Becker Left SPEECHLESS After Running Into ACES

Connor Richards

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Justin Zaki was all in for around 150,000 against Jeremy Becker, as Becker announced to Kristen Foxen that they were about to be heads-up in their side bet.

Jeremy Becker: A♥9♥ All in
Justin Zaki: A♦A♠

Becker's celebration was premature as he had run into aces, but the flop of 10♠7♥J♥ gave him plenty of life with a flush draw. Luckily for Zaki, the board finished out Q♣10♣ to earn him a double as Becker was left stunned.

"My god. How did you hold?"

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After a red-hot start to the year on the PokerGO Tour (PGT) that included a runner-up finish in the $1 million freeroll and a victory in a PGT Kickoff event, Andrew Lichtenberger had just one cash PokerGO Cup heading into the series finale.

But "LuckyChewy" stayed focused and it paid off with a victory in Event #10: $15,000 NLH to win $257,400 and the final trophy of the series. Lichtenberger overcame an overwhelming chip lead by fellow PokerGO Studio regular Sam Soverel, who earned $163,800 for his runner-up finish.
