Becker Scores a Knockout
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded to Brandon Wilson in the cutoff, who raised to 30,000, which was called by Jeremy Becker in the small blind.
Then the big blind Jim Collopy three-bet all in for 52,000, which both Wilson and Becker called.
With Collopy all in, both players checked the 9♦6♥7♣ flop, to see the 6♠ on the turn. Becker then bet 55,000, which got a quick fold from Wilson to leave the players heads-up, with Collopy at risk.
Jim Collopy: K♣10♠
Jeremy Becker: 8♠8♥
Collopy had to over cards and gut shot straight draw, but the Q♥ was no help for him, sending the pot to Becker, as Collopy was eliminated.
