Boeken Busted, Benelli Bloated
Andrea Benelli opened from middle position and Noah Boeken three bet. Someone behind Boeken smooth called and the Italian came along for the ride as well. Three way to the 
-flop where all players checked. The turn brought the 
into play and it was checked to Boeken who bet 4,700. The other player folded and Benelli raised it up to 10,200. Boeken made the call and the 
fell on the river. Benelli thought for a some time and then announced all in, effectively putting Boeken all in for his last 18,500. Boeken thought about it and then tossed in a single red 1,000 chip to indicate the call.
Benelli showed his 
and Boeken mucked, wishing his opponents good luck while doing so. Boeken, who just last month won the Master Classics of Poker Main Event in Amsterdam for €306,821, told us he had ace-king and thought just nines would be a possibility for Benelli to have him beat. He never saw king-five coming apparently, maybe next time he'll be more on his toes when battling Benelli.
