button in SafariSmith Gets Stack Halved by Benyamine
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
David Benyamine limped under the gun, and Scott Eskenazi followed suit in middle position. Dylan Smith then raised to 11,000 on the button, which only Benyamine called.
Smith bet 7,000 on the 7♠K♠4♠ flop and 10,000 on the 8♦ turn. Benyamine check-called both times, after which the 10♣ river completed the board.
Benyamine checked again, seeing Smith pile in his remaining stack of 55,500. Benyamine spent a minute or so in the tank before he called.
Smith showed A♥Q♥5♠5♦2♥ for a naked nut low. Benyamine had the same low with A♦10♥9♠8♣2♦, but his two pair awarded him the high half of the pot as well.
