Becker Smashes a Double

Jeff Becker opened with a late-position raise, and Alex Bolotin shoved on him from the blinds. Becker got his last 17,300 additional chips into the pot, and he was behind but drawing live to survive:

Becker: {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts}
Bolotin: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Bolotin should have known better than to go up against the unbeatable king and axe. The board ran {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {K-Spades} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}, pairing only Becker and notching his double up. He's back over 40,000, and Bolotin has slipped down to 43,000 himself.
