Becker Chops With Obst; Lamb Scoops Them Both
Johannes Becker raised on the button, and James Obst called out of the big blind. Obst opted to check-raise the 7♣3♠2♥ flop, and Becker came along to the 6♦ turn on which Obst bet and Becker called.
Obst also bet the J♥ river for what was essentially his all-in, and Becker looked him up. Obst showed the 9♥8♠5♥4♦ for a straight and Becker took the low with the A♦8♦6♣4♠.
Ben Lamb then raised and earned calls from Becker in the cutoff as well as Obst in the small blind. Three ways to the J♠9♣2♦ flop, Obst checked, and Lamb bet to earn two calls thereafter.
The 5♥ turn was checked by Obst and Lamb checked his stack carefully before he checked, too, as did Becker. There was no betting action on the Q♠ river, and Lamb announced queen-deuce for two pair, exposing the A♦Q♣8♣2♠.
"Unfortunate," Becker replied and checked his cards before sending them to the muck. He then mentioned that Lamb only had three outs, and the ace or deuce were no good. Brad Ruben pointed out that a ten would have done also, as Lamb had a gutshot on the flop.
