Benson Spikes the River to Double Off Barney
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Joshua Barney bet 20,000 from under the gun on a flop of 9♠J♠K♦ and William Benson called on the button.
The turn was the 8♥ and Barney bet another 92,000. Benson then moved all in for 114,000, and Barney called.
Barney showed Q♣10♦9♦9♣ for a flopped straight, while Benson had the same straight with A♣Q♠10♠4♠. The river, though, brought the 7♠ to improve Benson to a flush and earn him a double up.
