Straight Flush Saves Becker's Aces
Level 2
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jeremy Becker opened to 2,000 and it folded to Joao Simao who three-bet to 7,500. Both David Coleman and Bin Duan called the three-bet, before Becker four-bet to 40,000. Simao then five-bet all in for roughly 125,000, getting both Coleman and Duan to fold, with Becker snap-calling.
Joao Simao: Q♣Qx
Jeremy Becker: AxAx
Simao ran into the aces of Becker, but the 2♣3♣4♣5♣6♣ runout brought a straight flush on board for a chop, after Simao turned a flush to have the aces of Becker cracked for just a moment.
