Payouts Beckon for Becker
Mike Becker was in the big blind with 600 chips behind when he called us over. "I'm probably going to bust on this hand if you want to write about that." Action folded to Shawn Buchanan in the small blind, and he put Becker all in. Neither player had looked at their hands yet when they flipped them up. Becker's ahd Buchanan's crushed. The board came out , and Becker more than doubled up. He jokingly celebrated the start of his big comeback with the table.
It didn't last too long though. The next hand, when it folded around to Buchanan on the button. He raised, and Becker went all in. The short stack wasn't able to survive two hands in a row, and he bid his table farewell on his way to the cashier.
