How Dare You

[user38449]

Wayne Carlson opened a recent pot with a raise to 200,000 from the button and was called by Aaron Benton in the big blind.

The two checked down a board of {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

and both turned their cards over at the showdown:

Carlson: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

Benton:

{4-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

As the dealer pushed him the pot, Benton joked, "I've never raised you with jack-seven, Wayne! My opinion of you has gone down (a little)!"

Benton is still hovering around 5.1 million, while Carlson now has just over 2.1.
