Benmoumen Leaves Siess on Fumes
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With roughly 3,300 in the middle and four players seeing a board of 8♥5♥2♦, Iryna Tsikhanskaya checked from the small blind and Christophe Colantoni did the same from the big blind. Yves Siess bet 3,000 from the cutoff only for Amer Benmoumen to raise to 10,000 from the button. Tsikhanskaya and Colantoni got out of the way while Siess made the call.
Siess check-called another bet from Benmoumen on the 6♣ turn, this time for 17,000.
The river was the A♣. Siess checked, Benmoumen fired a third barrel for 22,000, and after about 90 seconds Siess made the call.
Benmoumen tabled 2♠2♥ for bottom set to scoop a sizable pot and leave Siess with just over ten big blinds.
