Benson Finds Help on the Flop to Fade the Rail
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Susan Murphey raised to 130,000 from middle position and Jack Benson jammed for 475,000 from the hijack. Murphey mulled it over for quite some time before electing to stick in the call.
Jack Benson : K♠J♠
Susan Murphey: A♠5♠
Murphey was slightly ahead and had the spades covered. However, that didn't matter as Benson paired his king on the K♦4♠3♦Q♦7♦ runout to survive and earn the double-up.
