Bendor Takes a Rough Split Pot
Level 19
: Limits 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
James Chen raised and Yarron Bendor called all-in for 30,000 in the cutoff, Kyle Cardwright did so on the button and Luis Velador in the big blind.
On a flop of 8♠8♦4♦, Velador checked and Chen bet to earn two calls. Velador bet the 10♠ turn to earn a call from Chen, while Cartwright folded. Velador bet the 5♦ river again and Chen called.
Velador showed A♥Q♣8♣5♥ for a full house and low, while Chen had A♣K♦J♠3♦ for a king-high flush and superior low. Bendor's A♦10♣6♦3♠ for the nut flush and joint-best low earned him back the same amount of chips.
