Benso's Boat Fills Up

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Joining the action on the river, the board read {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} with about 23,000 in the pot.

The middle position player fired for 12,500. After a bit of deliberation, Sergio Benso, from under the gun, moved all in for 31,000. This sent his opponent into the tank for a couple minutes, before reluctantly making the call with Benso covered.

Sergio Benso: {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Benso had made a full house after the board paired twice, while his opponent was left with just an ace kicker to play with the doubly paired board. Benso raked in the pot, doubling his stack.
