Benger Flops Trips
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Griffin Benger opened to 10,000 in the cutoff with 9♥9♣ and Jelle Moene defended the big blind with Q♣8♣.
The 9♦7♣A♦ was checked-raised by Moene to 23,000 responding to Benger's 9,000 continuation bet. Benger was ahead after flopping a set of nines and called Moene's raise.
The Q♥ was turned and Moene opted to check. Benger bet 25,000 and Moene folded, despite improving his hand.
