Becker Rebuilds Through Ashton
Level 14
Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
After Johannes Becker raised under the gun, Matthew Ashton three-bet in the hijack. Becker called and then drew two cards, while Ashton took one.
Becker checked to Ashton, who bet, but then Becker came back with a check-raise. Ashton was having none of that however, putting in a third bet, which Becker called.
The players then patted their hands and Becker then check-called another bet from Ashton.
They patted again on the final draw, and once more Becker check-called a bet from Ashton.
"Eighty-five," declared Ashton, which was music to Becker's ears as he fanned 7x6x5x4x2x to beat Ashton's eight-perfect and take the pot.
