Hampton's Rough Eight Holds
Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
2-7 Triple Draw
Johannes Becker raised in the first position and Jesse Hampton countered with a three-bet out of the small blind. Becker called.
Hampton was pat right away and Becker changed two. He called another bet and then changed one. Hampton moved all-in for last 16,000 and Becker called off, drawing one.
Hampton turned up 
for a rough eight and Becker had a chance to score the knockout with any four, six or seven. However, he'd only receive a nine to make 
, not enough to halt Hampton's tournament run.
