Jeremy Becker completed the small blind to 40,000, Tim Capretta raised from the big blind to 115,000, and Becker moved all in.

Capretta thought for a while before he called all in for about 300,000 with Ks10s, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Becker’s 9h9d.

The board came KhKc8d9s2d, and Capretta flopped trip kings, but Becker turned a full house, nines full of kings, to win the pot and eliminate Capretta in fifth place.

Jeremy Becker  –  1,060,000  (27 bb)
