Benyamine vs. Calderaro

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

James Calderaro was in middle position and facing a decision for 20,000 from David Benyamine, who was under the gun. There were about 55,000 chips in the existing pot and the board read {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

"That's the only way you can win the pot is to bet," Calderaro said as he considered his decision. He ultimately called and Benyamine flipped over {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a set of jacks, which was good enough to win the pot.
