Ghaneian, Bennett Show Friendly Side of Poker
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Poker is a competitive game, but it can also bring about friendly competition.
WSOP bracelet winner Arash Ghaneian and Steven Bennett provided proof of the latter scenario during a hand.
Ghaneian raised preflop in late position, and Bennett called in the small blind. The two men looked at each other and chuckled.
The dealer fanned 4♥A♣9♥ on the board. Bennett checked, and Ghaneian followed with his own check.
“No way!” Bennett said after Ghaneian acted.
The 8♥ showed up on the turn, and Bennett once again checked. This time, though, Ghaneian bet 175,000 and Bennett folded, showing 6♣4♣ face up.
Ghaneian then showed Bennett what he had before tabling A♠8♠ for the rest of the table.
“Sneaky!” Bennett exclaimed, which got a laugh out of Ghaneian.
