Benac Three-Bets River

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

With around 8,000 in the pot on a board of {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Gregory Benac was in the big blind against an opponent who was under the gun.

Benac bet 3,000 and his opponent raised to 14,000. After around 90 seconds, Benac three-bet to 40,000.

His opponent seemed shocked and spent the next two minutes alternating between deep contemplation, shaking his head, and looking back at his cards. In those two minutes, there were numerous occasions where his motions looked like he was about to fold, only to look back at his cards and shake his head some more. Eventually, his intuition got the best of him and he followed through with what appeared to be a big laydown, resulting in the dealer sending the pot to Benac, whose three-bet on the river earned him the pot without showdown.
