Bonkowski Busts Becker

Chad Holloway

Jeff Becker was in middle position and open shipped his short stack of 225,000. Tyler Bonkowski made the call from the cutoff, while the rest of the field got out of the way.

Showdown
Bonkowski: {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}
Becker: {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

What started as a classic flip quickly turned into a hammerlock for Bonkowski as the flop came down {5-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {10-Spades} ; however, Becker did have faint hopes with a gut-shot straight draw. The {9-Clubs} destroyed those dreams though, as Bonkowski filled up and left Becker drawing dead. The inconsequential {4-Diamonds} was put out on the river as Becker was escorted to the payout desk.
