Jeremy Becker was all in from the small blind for 95,000 with QhQd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the Ks5s of Artem Metalidi in the big blind.

The board came 7c7s2sAc7h, and Metalidi flopped a spade flush draw, but improved no further. Becker won the pot with a full house to double up in chips.

Jeremy Becker  –  220,000  (7 bb)
