Give Yourself a Pat on the Back
Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
EPT9 Berlin High Roller champ Griffin Benger, who is sporting his Shamballa bracelet, opened for 33,000 from early position and Max Greenwood defended from the big blind. Greenwood then check-called bets of 40,000 and 96,000 on the 
flop and 
turn respectively, before checking for a third time on the 
river.
Benger thought long and hard, and just before it looked like he was going to put out a big bet, he decided to check. Greenwood rolled over the 
for two pair, and Benger literally patted himself on the back for not pulling the trigger on the river. Benger then mucked before explaining that he had missed his flush draw.
