Becker Doubles Through Obst
No-Limit Hold'em
James Obst raised to 40,000 out of the small blind and was called by Johannes Becker in the big blind. Both checked the 10?9?8? flop and Obst checked the 4? turn. Becker now bet 45,000 only for Obst to check-raise to 160,000, which Becker called after a few seconds of consideration.
The A? fell on the river and Obst almost immediately announced the all-in, sending Becker into agony. He counted the 575,000 behind and dropped a single chip in for the call after around one minute.
Becker already exposed his J?10? for a pair of tens and Obst flung his cards towards the muck.
"Sorry, I have to see them," Becker said and other players also pointed out that the cards had to be shown according to the showdown roles. The K?5? of Obst were briefly exposed before he paid off the double to Becker.
