Becker and Srinivasan Build Stacks

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A big pot was brewing between Johannes Becker and Andrew Macdonald, and the former checked the {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} turn from the cutoff before Macdonald bet 105,000 on the button. Becker called, and the {K-Spades} river was checked through. Becker flipped over {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and Macdonald shook his head while sliding his cards into the muck.

A few tables over near the rail in the Amazon Gold section, Shyam Srinivasan limped from under the gun, and Scotty Nguyen raised to 17,000 from late position, which only Srinivasan called. On the {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, Srinivasan check-called a bet worth 17,000 before doing so again for 40,000 on the {K-Clubs} turn. The {Q-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Srinivasan checked the third street in a row. Nguyen bet 60,000 with 140,000 behind, and Srinivasan check-raised all in. Nguyen took around one minute while the camera crew rushed to the table to film the action.

Ultimately, Nguyen sent his cards into the muck, and Srinivasan raked in the massive pot.
