Vicente Drills the River to Double Through Becker
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A few spots away from the money, Jeremy Becker raised to 16,000 out of the hijack and Daniel Vicente three-bet to 75,000 from the next seat with around 30,000 behind. When it got back to Becker, he four-bet ripped it and Vicente called his stack off.
Daniel Vicente: A♣J♠
Jeremy Becker: 10♦10♣
Vicente was in a flip that he needed to win to give him a good chance of making it to the money.
The 7♦3♣6♦ flop and 3♦ turn didn't help Vicente, and he needed an ace or jack on the river that wasn't a diamond to survive.
The dealer burned a card and put out the A♠ on the river, saving Vicente from the rail.
