Becker Drills the River to Survive
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Rinat Dinmukhametov raised to 3,500 under the gun before Art Peacock three-bet to 11,000 in the hijack. Glenn Becker called in the small blind, as did Dinmukhametov.
The flop came 9♣5♦9♦ and Peacock continued for 16,000. Becker then moved all in for 58,000 and Dinmukhametov folded, but Peacock snap-called.
Glenn Becker: 8♠8♥
Art Peacock: 10♣10♠
Peacock was ahead with his tens and poised for the knockout as the K♠ fell on the turn, but Becker spiked the 8♣ on the river to make a full house and earn the fortunate double up.
