Becker Scoops Multi-Way Pot to Take Lead
Level 21
: Limits 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
In a four-way min-raised pot to the K♠9♥2♦ flop, it checked to James Obst in the cutoff and he bet. Luis Velador on the button folded while Jason Daly in the small blind check-raised. Johannes Becker called in the big blind and Obst stuck around as well.
Daly bet the 7♣ turn to earn two calls and bet again the 9♠ on the river. Becker called after some consideration and Obst let go.
The K♥Q♠3♣2♠ of Daly had flopped two pair but they were counterfeited, as Becker dragged in the large pot with the A♣K♣6♥5♠.
