Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Philipp Wenzelburger opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and received a call from Francisco Benitez on the button before Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 175,000 from the small blind. Wenzelburger mucked his hand while Benitez made the call.
Both players checked the J♠3♠3♥ flop leading to the J♦ turn. Troyanovskiy check-called a 100,000 bet from Benitez.
Troyanovskiy checked again on the 6♥ river and Benitez bet 340,000. Troyanovskiy went into the tank, burning through four time extensions before finally sticking in the call.
Benitez could only show 2♦2♥ for a tiny pocket pair that had been counterfeited by the turn. Troyanovskiy tabled A♣Q♥ for just an ace-kicker to the two pair that was on the board and dragged in a sizable pot.
