Becker Scoops Lamb to Stay Alive
Level 24
: Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
Erik Seidel raised from early position and was called by Ben Lamb on the button and Johannes Becker in the big blind.
The three players took a flop of 5?8?Q? and both Becker and Seidel checked over Lamb, who bet. Becker raised all-in, Seidel got out of the way and Lamb called.
Johannes Becker: A?J?8?2?
Ben Lamb: A?5?5?3?
Lamb was out front with a set of fives, but the dealer would deliver the ace-high flush for Becker on the turn in the form of the K? and hold off on pairing the board for Lamb on the 4? river, giving Becker the much needed double.
