Charles Gomez raised under the gun to 150,000, Jeremy Becker reraised from the hijack to 425,000, and Gomez moved all in for 2,100,000.

Becker snap-called all in for 1,950,000 with KhKd, and Gomez turned over AdKs. Becker needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came QhJh3h3c8c, and Gomez flopped a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Becker won the pot with his pocket kings to double up in chips, knocking Gomez down to just two big blinds.

Jeremy Becker  –  4,100,000  (55 bb)
