We Three Kings Be Taking Your Chips
One of the pleasant aspects of covering pot-limit split (there are very few) is that in heads-up pots, players leave their bets in front of their cards. It makes it a touch easier to reconstruct the action if we're late to a hand.
David Benyamine and button player Michael Mizrachi were the only players to go past a flop. There was 1,350 in the pot. One of them potted and the other called. The turn brought a bet of 2,025 from one and a call from the other.
On the river , it appeared that Benyamine checked. Mizrachi then made a fairly large-for-this-stage bet of 7,000. Benyamine tanked for quite a while before tossing calling chips into the pot in a defeated manner.
"Three kings," said Mizrachi. He opened .
"So sick," said Benyamine disgustedly. He mucked and fell back to 16,000 in chips. Mizrachi is up to 25,000. Neither has any rebuy chips left.
