Level 25
: Limits 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
Erik Seidel raised from under the gun and Johannes Becker defended the big blind. On a Q?3?2? flop, Becker check-called and they checked the 6? turn. Becker bet the J? river and Seidel reluctantly called with his A?K?8?5? to chop against Becker's A?A?8?3?.
Ben Lamb then three-bet an open raise by Luis Velador, who came along. Velador check-called bets on the K?10?6? flop and 7? turn. They checked the 4? river and the [￠Ah3h3c2d] of Velador earned the low, Lamb took the high with the A?K?Q?4?.
Velador was visibly happy about the chop and said so. "I am happy with half the pot ... against Ben, I take a quarter also," he joked.
Lamb raised the next hand for Velador to defend the big blind and then check-fold a Q?9?4? flop.
