Jeremy Becker has quickly become a player to watch over the course of the last year. After bursting onto the scene as the oft-proclaimed 'King of the Dailies', Becker took on Landon Tice in a widely-publicized World Series of Poker summer crossbook bet. While both players struggled to put together meaningful results, Becker notched a last-minute score to secure the victory. More recently, Becker played a full schedule at the PokerGO Tour 2024 Poker Masters and earned his first PGT title in Event #2.
This past weekend, Becker's appearance on the Table 1 Podcast – hosted by Justin Young and Art Parmann – hit the airwaves, giving audiences further insight into his poker journey from early days to the present, including his results for the summer crossbook, how his side action panned out, and whether he's up for round two in 2025. Results aside, Becker also explains the origins of the crossbook – useful for those that aren't aware of the finer details – and how he became involved in a staking deal with Daniel Negreanu and Josh Arieh.

Talking of the crossbook, Becker admitted that both he and Negreanu made money on the side bets, even if he didn't finish in the green.
"What a shitty summer we both had, by the way," Becker admitted, "but he had a much shittier one, so we won. No sweats all summer."
