Ktenas Leads to Confusion
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Serban Borian raised to 1,800 from early position and Eric Bensimhon made it 6,300 to go from middle position. Big blind Nikolaos Ktenas then cold-called from the big blind and Borian put in the extra chips as well.
The 8?8?10? flop was checked by all three players before the 9? turn saw Ktenas check again. Borian fired 12,200 chips in the middle, but both of his opponents stuck around with a call.
The 9? river completed the board and Ktenas led out for 30,000. Borian quickly released his cards, but Bensimhon took some time to make up his mind.
After five minutes or so, he followed suit and the pot was shipped Ktenas way, who was gracious enough to show his 10?10? for top full house.
