Benson Starts Low and Ends High
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Limits: 400-1,400
Justin Liberto opened the hijack to 1,000 and Gary Benson called from the big blind.
On the Q♣6♣5♥ flop, Liberto continued for 1,800 and Benson called.
The 9♦ turn checked through to the 9♠ river which saw Benson lead for 5,500, and Liberto did not take long before he flicked in the call. Benson tabled A♣9♥3♠2♥ for trip nines, as his nut-low draw on the flop turned into trips by the river as he scooped the pot.
