Benvenga Raises the River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jean-Pierre Benvenga opened to 30,000 on the button and was called by Elie Farah in the big blind.
Farah check-called a 60,000 bet from Benvenga on the Q♣5♥3♣ flop and a 65,000 bet from Benvenga on the 5♣ turn.
However, Farah led out for 125,000 after the Q♦ double-paired the board. Benvenga responded by raising to 350,000, which got a fold from Farah after a bit of thought to send the bloated pot Benvenga's way.
