Somerville Spots an Ace in the Window
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andrew Benedict opened to 22,000 in early position and was called by the cutoff. Jason Somerville three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind and Benedict ripped all in for 493,000. The cutoff quickly folded but Somerville asked for a count which took over two minutes. Somerville thought for an additional minute and then made the call.
Andrew Benedict: K♠K♣
Jason Somerville: A♥K♥
The dealer fanned the flop of A♠J♦8♦ with the ace in the window to give Somerville a commanding lead. The 10♥ on the turn provided some chop outs but the 8♣ on the river sent Benedict to the payout desk.
