Ben Backdoors Into a Wheel
Level 7
: Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Four ways to a flop of 4♥10♠3♠, where after three checks, Erdal Gulseven bet 6,500 from the cutoff. The small blind folded, but Aleksandr Brazhnikov called out of the big blind, and Rio Nimni Ben called from middle position.
Check, check, check came after the 2♣ turn and the A♦ arrived on the river. Brazhnikov checked one last time, and Ben carved out a bet of 14,500. Only Gulseven called.
Ben showed 5♦5♣ and had backdoored into a wheel to take down the pot.
