Becker Survives an All-In; August Takes Healthy Side Pot
Johannes Becker: J♥J♣/3♥J♦Q♣4♥/5♠
Leonard August: K♣9♠/K♥A♥2♠J♠/10♥
George Alexander: XxXx/7♦K♠8♥3♦ - folded sixth street
Johannes Becker brought in for a completion with his short stack, leaving himself 15,000 behind. George Alexander made it two full bets and Leonard August made it three. Becker put the rest of his stack in and Alexander called as well.
August continued his aggression, betting fourth through sixth streets, with Alexander finally slowing down on sixth to think. After over two minutes in the tank he elected to fold and leave Becker's fate to August.
August showed his pair of kings to take the side pot, while Becker turned up his pocket jacks.
"The first one was a good one," commented Becker as seventh street changed nothing and he managed to survive and drag a double-up with his trip jacks, while August grew his stack with that side pot.
