Becker Off to a Hot Start
Level 1
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
Omaha Hi-Lo
Jesse Klein opened from the cutoff with a raise and Johannes Becker called from the small blind. Scott Seiver called from the big blind.
The flop came down 
and action checked through to the 
on the turn. There, Becker led out with a bet and Seiver was his only taker.
The river was the 
and Becker bet again. Seiver called and Becker showed him 
for a flush. Seiver quickly mucked and Becker took down the pot.
Becker finished second in this event last year taking home a prize of $862,649 and finishing runner-up to Elior Sion. Earlier in this series, Becker also locked up his first World Series of Poker Bracelet in Event #8: $ 2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball for $180,455.
