Henson Finds a Wheel

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 4

David Benyamine opened from the cutoff and faced a three-bet from Ray Henson on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Benyamine made the call to send the two players heads-up to the initial draw.

Benyamine drew two to Henson's one on the first draw before checking to the initial raiser. Henson led out and Benyamine made the call.

On the second draw Benyamine stood pat while Henson drew one. Benyamine then bet into Henson, who flatted.

The third draw followed the same drawing pattern as the second, with Benyamine standing pat and Henson taking one. Benyamine then fired off another bet only to be met with a raise. Not satisfied with the size of the pot, Benyamine came back over the top. Henson continued the raising war with a cold four-bet, which Benyamine, shaking his head as if he knew exactly what he was up against, called. Henson tabled for the wheel and Benyamine mucked to send a sizable pot the American's way.
