Johannes Becker Eliminated in 7th Place ($61,919)
Level 25
: Limits 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
Ben Lamb raised in the cutoff and was called by Johannes Becker in the small blind and Erik Seidel in the big blind.
"How much do you have?" Lamb inquired and Becker replied he started the hand with 900k. The flop came A♣K♠9♣ and it checked to Lamb, who bet. Becker mulled it over to then check-raise for Seidel to fold and Lamb made it three bets to earn a call from Becker.
On the 8♠ turn, Becker had fewer than two bets behind and bet, Lamb raised and the German called it off.
Johannes Becker: A♥K♥Q♦10♣
Ben Lamb: A♣A♦9♥4♦
Becker was in dire shape with his top two pair and needed a jack to survive, as he held no low draw. The 5♦ fell on the river and ended his run in seventh place for $61,919.
