Benyamine Checking for Value

Benyamine and Tran
Benyamine and Tran
David Benyamine raised to 35,000 with {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Phil Laak made the call from the big blind with the {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

After a flop of {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}, both players checked. The turn brought the {6-Clubs} and Laak checked. Benyamine checked behind, possibly checking to get some value on the river from Laak.

The river was the {A-Diamonds} and Laak bet 42,000. Benyamine had successfully induced a bet from Laak, who held just king high. Isaac Haxton questioned why Laak wouldn't just check-call on the commentary. Benyamine then raised to 126,000 and Laak folded. Haxton also questioned this raise, thinking that Benyamine wasn't going to get called by many hands that he beat.
