Becker Leads Two Streets, Can't Shake Lazaro Off Underpair
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Rene Lazaro opened to from middle position and mid-stakes tournament prodigy Jeremy Becker defended out of the big blind.
Becker, seated aside fellow tournament crusher Chance Kornuth, checked on the 4?J?J? flop and called as Lazaro continued for 25,000. Becker then led out for 105,000 on the Q? turn and Lazaro called.
The 6? river completed the board and Becker sized up to 285,000. Lazaro counted out his stack before eventually calling. Becker sheepishly turned over a bluff with K?9? for king-high and Lazaro tabled an underpair with 3?3? to win the pot.
