Ben Soussan Cracks Kings Near the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jonathan Ben Soussan raised to 8,000 in middle position before Jerry Odeen three-bet to 15,000 in the hijack. Ben Soussan called, leaving himself just 14,000 behind.
Both players checked the A♦3♣5♦ flop before the 9♥ fell on the turn. Ben Soussan then bet his last chips. "It's a bluff," Ben Soussan said as Odeen began tanking.
"I didn't think I would have a decision to make," Odeen said, but he eventually called.
Odeen showed K♥K♠, but Ben Soussan had A♣2♣ for top pair. The river was the 8♠ and Ben Soussan doubled up.
