Al Fakih Gives Benso a Tough Decision
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With over 25,000 chips in the pot on a flop of Q♠5♣Q♣, Sal Al Fakih checked it over to Sergio Benso, who fired 4,300. Al Fakih then raised to 10,000, and Benso called.
Both quickly checked the 10♣ turn to the 6♦ river, where Al Fakih shoved for around 21,000. Benso went into the tank and considered for quite some time, and even had the calling chips in his hand. Ultimately, he decided against it and laid it down, which meant Al Fakih took the pot.
