Engel Calls Light

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Ari Engel opened the hijack to 3,800 and only Chakib Bennani called, defending his big blind. On the {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, Bennani checked-called a 4,000 continuation.

The turn brought a {9-Spades} and Engel barreled, with Bennani check-calling the 8,000 bet. The river was the {j-Clubs} and Bennani changed tack, leading for 16,000. Engel counted out the chips and thought about it for 20 seconds or so before calling but he mucked when Bennani turned over {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.
