Benton Can't Get River Value from Two Pair

donpeters

Aaron Benton was in the small blind and Tom Grigg in the big blind. Action folded around to Benton and he completed. Grigg checked his option and then Benton checked dark before the flop came down.

The flop was placed {J-Clubs}

on the felt. With Benton checking dark, action fell on Grigg. He checked behind.

The turn was the {K-Hearts}

and Benton led for 35,000, just one-sixth more than the minimum. Grigg made the call.

The river card produced the {5-Hearts}

and now there was three hearts on board. Benton fired 50,000 and Grigg mucked his hand. Benton showed {K-Spades}

for runner-runner two pair.

His cheering section, which is located a few feet to the right of media row on the balcony, erupted with cheers when they saw Benton scoop the pot.
