Smit Fills up to Bust Benson
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
William Benson opened to 35,000 and was called by Werner Smit in the big blind.
Smit checked to Benson, who continued for 20,000 on the 9♠J♣A♣ flop. Smit then put in a pot-sized check-raise and Benson called all-in for his remaining stack.
William Benson: A♥J♥10♣8♣
Werner Smit: J♦9♣9♥7♥
Both players had flopped big, but Smit had the best of it with his set of nines.
The K♣ turn improved Benson to a flush for the lead, but the K♠ river left Smit best with a full house for the elimination.
