Becker Survives with Straight on Seventh
Johannes Becker: 8♦5♦10♦/8♣6♣9♥7♦
Leonard august: J♠XxXx/J♥2♠7♥J♦
Max Hoffman: XxXx/7♣ - Folded on third street
Brian Yoon: XxXx/3♥ - Folded Bring in
Brian Yoon brought in and Max Hoffman completed. Johannes Becker made it two bets to go and Leonard August raised again to three bets. Yoon and Hoffman got out of the way and Becker made the call.
Action was heads-up on fourth street. Leonard bet fourth, fifth and sixth street receiving a call from Becker each time. Becker's call on sixth left him with just two yellow 1,000 chips behind.
Leonard checked seventh, Becker bet his last 2,000 and Leonard made the call.
Leonard had trip jacks but Becker had made a ten-high straight to preserve his tournament life and receive slightly more than a full double up.
