Benger Shuts Opponent Down With a Turn Check-Raise
Action folded to Griffin Benger who raised to 300 before watching as the big blind put in a three-bet to 1,000. Benger verified the amount and made the call to see the flop come A♠J♥3♥.
Benger checked over to the big blind who continued with a bet of 600. Benger made the call, prompting the dealer to lay the 9♠ out on the turn.
Benger checked once again and the big blind, after a brief pause, decided to bet out again, this time for 1,800.
With action back on Benger, he entered a short tank. After a few moments of contemplation, Benger counted out a check-raise and tossed 6,800 into the middle. The big blind now entered a tank of his own and even went as far as to ask to see Benger's chips, presumably considering an all-in but eventually, he would release his cards as the dealer pushed the pot in Benger's direction.
