Championship: 21st Place - Becker

$2500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH

Alan Becker (Stamford, CT)
$6,370

Blinds 3k/6k/500 ante

There's a preflop raise to 13k with three callers ahead of Becker in the BB so it's five to the flop.

Flop: J♠ 7♣ 3♠

Becker moves all in for 60k and gets a call from Taha Maruf.

Becker: A♠ 9♠ (flush draw)
Maruf: Ax 7x (middle pair)

Becker misses the flush, while Maruf hits two pair on the river for the knockout.

Becker finishes in 21st place for $6,370.

"I was never above 150k," says Becker. "I had monsters two my left for two days," he laments about sitting next to Orson Young's big stack early in the tournament.
