Laugt Claims Another Scalp
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was picked up on the turn in a three-bet pot with around 35,000 in the middle in a hand between Henri Benoni from early position and Quentin Laugt from the hijack.
With the board reading, 6♣3♣2♥2♦, Benoni checked to Laugt who continued for 25,000. Benoni responded with a check-jam for 110,000 and Laugt snapped it off.
Henri Benoni: J♥J♦ 
Quentin Laugt: K♠K♦
It was a cooler situation with Laugt having the better overpair and it stayed that way on the 10♣ river as Laugt has risen to become the largest stack in the room before dinner.
