Becker Cracks Deng's Aces
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Clemen Deng raised to 115,000 from the cutoff, and it folded to Jeremy Becker in the small blind who three-bet to 305,000. It folded back to Deng, who put in a small four-bet to 495,000. Becker then moved all in for 1,010,000, which Deng snap-called.
Jeremy Becker: 8♥8♦
Clemen Deng: A♥A♣
Becker ran into the aces of Deng, and on the brink of elimination. However, things quickly changed after the 5♠10♣8♠ flop gave Becker a set of fives. The 5♦ on the turn filled up Becker, and the 3♠ on the rive secured the double up for Becker.
