Uibo Doubles Through Benoni in Dramatic Fashion
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Hendrik Uibo opened to 10,000 from early position before Henri Benoni three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack, and Uibo called.
On the 10♠9♠3♠ flop, Uibo checked to Benoni who continued for 24,000 and Benoni put in the call.
The turn brought the 7♣. Benoni opted to jam for 138,000 effective as the covering stack. Uibo sighed as he called it off.
Hendrik Uibo: A♥10♥
Henri Benoni: K♦K♣
Uibo found himself in rough shape with top pair against the overpair of Benoni. However, he still had five outs to improve. The dealer peeled the 10♣ on the river to give Uibo the winner as he jumped out of his chair in celebration.
