Chivukula's River Bet Takes It
Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action went three-ways to a flop of A♥2♥8♠ in a hand between Venkat Chivukula in middle position, Chris Hunichen in the cutoff, and David Benyamine in the small blind.
With about 500,000 in the pot, Benyamine led out for 275,000 and only Chivukula continued to the 5♥ turn. Both players checked to the 5♠ river, where Benyamine checked again.
Chivukula slid out a bet of 500,000 and after a brief moment of thought, Benyamine mucked.
