Becker Spikes the River to Stay Alive
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Jeremy Becker in the small blind, and he moved all in for his stack of 230,000, which was quickly called by Justin Vaysman in the big blind to put Becker at risk.
Jeremy Becker: 3♠3♥
Justin Vaysman: K♥9♠
It was a flip for Becker's tournament life, but Vaysman took a commanding lead on the 5♣K♠2♣ flop. The 10♣ on the turn kept Vaysman in front, but the 3♦ on the river gave Becker a set, to keep his tournament going and double up.
