A Kind River for Benefield
Level 19
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Action folded to David Benefield on the button and he raised to 120,000. The small blind folded, Johannes Strassmann defended the big, and then both players checked the flop. Strassmann seized the initiative with his pair of nines and led out for 150,000 when the turned. Benefield decided to see another card, and he was glad he did as the on the river paired his ace. Strassmann fired again, this time 225,000, and Benefield just called to take down the pot.
