Jeremy Becker Does It Again
Jeremy Becker, who has never studied a solver, is a crusher when it comes to the lower buy-in tournaments across Las Vegas; so much so, that Daniel Negreanu facilitated a big cross book bet between the young phenom and Landon Tice, another successful young crusher who came up in the solver world.
Becker took down yet another tournament back on February 13 when he topped a field of 202 entries in Event #21: $400 NLH Epic Bounty, good for a $8,379 payday. Becker did so by defeating well-known Venetian grinder Kao Saechao in heads-up play.
Others to cash the tournament were Jerome Finck (4th place - $2,953), Mario Fauceglia (11th place - $703), and Mohamed Serry (17th place - $538).
