Becker Leaps Out of the Danger Zone
Level 17
No-Limit Hold'em
Josh Arieh won a showdown pot in the new game variant when he check-called a bet of 40,000 by Maxx Coleman on the 8?5?2? flop. They checked down the 3? turn and A? river for Arieh to claim the pot with the 6?5?.
Arieh then three-bet an open raise by Kristopher Tong to win the next pot before taking on Johannes Becker. The German check-called the 7?4?3? flop for 75,000 and the 6? turn was checked. Becker checked the J? river and Arieh asked to see his stack before betting 300,000.
Becker called for nearly half of his stack and was good with the A?7?, as Arieh only had the K?7? for the inferior kicker.
