Benitez Check-Three-Bets the Turn
Francisco Benitez raised to 8,000 from under the gun and received calls from Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button, as well as Santhosh Suvarna in the small blind.
The trio then all checked on the flop of 6♦4♣8♦, before the action checked to Kisacikoglu again on the A♦ turn. He made a bet of 9,000, which Suvarna then raised to 33,000. Benitez upped the ante even further with a three-bet to 140,000. Kisacikoglu quickly folded, but Suvarna spent one time bank extension before making the call.
The 9♥ river then hit the felt and Suvarna checked to Benitez. He fired a massive bet of 350,000 chips, worth over 100 big blinds. Suvarna went deep into the tank but eventually folded once he had spent two more time bank extensions, forfeiting the pot to Benitez.
