Carlson Takes Down a Three-Way Pot

[user38449]

Wayne Carlson just took down a three-way pot in a hand against Aaron Benton and Ernst Hermans to move to 1.8 million in chips.

Carlson limped into the pot from the cutoff, Benton completed from the small blind and Hermans checked his option in the big.

"We love getting flops," said Benton before the dealer spread the {7-Spades}

flop.

Hermans led out with a 100,000 bet on the flop that was called by both opponents.

The {7-Clubs}

then fell on the turn and Benton passed the first option to Hermans, saying, "Let's go... hang yourself, baby."

After a slight pause, Hermans too checked, as did Carlson, sending the action to the river.

The last card off the deck was the {A-Clubs}

and both Benton and Hermans checked to Carlson who bet 100,000. Benton made the call and Hermans folded. Carlson then turned over the {A-Spades}

for a full house and Benton mucked.

"Very nice hand, very nice hand," said Benton to Carlson. "I could only call you there. Nice hand. Very well played."
