Big Slick Gets the Double for Lagos
Level 27
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
George Lagos opened to 1.7 million and was called by Markus Prinz on the button. Michael Benko three-bet to 7 million and Benko then shoved all in for 26.5 million. Prinz folded to Benko who thought for a few moments before making the call. Players flipped their cards and Lagos would be at risk of elimination.
George Lagos: 
Michael Benko: 
The flop came down 
and Benko's two pair was still ahead. The hit the turn and Benko was counterfeited, left drawing to a nine on the river. The 
on the river did not help Benko and Lagos got the double up.
