Benso Scores Early Knockout

Sergio Benso, who was on the button, found himself in an action hand before the flop.

A player in middle position limped, and then the player in the hijack position raised to 400. Benso peeked down at his hand, and then three-bet the action to 1,600. The player in middle position limp-called, and the original raiser in the hijack called.

The dealer fanned A♥3♥8♣, and the player in early position bet 1,500. The player at the hijack position mucked his hand.

Benso looked over at his remaining opponent, who showed 13,000 behind, and then Benso raised to 20,000, which his opponent immediately called.

Benso: A♣J♣
Opponent: A♠2♠

Benso was ahead after the flop, and sealed the hand after the 10♦ appeared on the turn and Q♠ hit the river to send his opponent to the rail.
