Benete Beneficiary of Hero-Call Gone Wrong
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Christophe Benete opened to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Jimmy Metzger defended the big blind.
On the A♦8♥2♠ flop, Metzger check-called versus a continuation bet of 4,500 from Benete.
The same pattern followed on the 7♣ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 12,500 from Benete.
The 10♥ river completed the runout, and Metzger checked once more.
Benete pulled the top of his Olympique Marseille training jersey up over his mouth and rested his head with his hand under his chin, before moving all in with the covering stack.
Metzger had around 57,000 behind and looked pained. Suddenly he flicked in a calling chip after a relatively brief period of thought.
Benete tabled A♠7♥ for two pair, and Metzger was well behind with Q♥2♥ for fifth pair deuces.
