Lisawad Beats Benger Out of This One
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
From under the gun, Pakinai Lisawad opened with a raise to 35,000. Action then folded to Griffin Benger in the cutoff seat, and he reared to 83,000. After the button and blinds all folded, Lisawad made the call to take a flop.
The flop came down 
, and Lisawad checked. Benger continued his in-position aggression with a bet of 86,000. Lisawad called.
The dealer added the 
to the board on the turn, and both players checked to see the 
land on the river. Again, both players checked.
"I've got a nine," announced Lisawad.
"It's good," responded Benger.
Lisawad showed the 
for a pair of nines, and Benger mucked his hand.
