Top Pair Holds for Benzo Multi-Way

Brett Slezak

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up four ways on the 8?6?3? flop in a hand between Sigve Tellefsen Enes, Lucas Beisel, Sergio Benzo, and Andrei Epure.

Beisel led out for 2,200 from early position and Benzo raised to 5,700. Epure called from late position before Enes jammed the remainder of his 15,000 stack into the middle. Beisel quickly got out of the way but Benzo re-jammed for 18,600 and Epure sighed as he called it off as the covering stack.

Sigve Tellefsen Enes: K?J? All in
Sergio Benzo: Q?8? All in
Andrei Epure: A?7?

Benzo was in good shape holding top pair with the others both having flush draws, but he needed to fade three overcards. He did just that as the board ran out 2?5? and Benzo collected a huge pot as Enes hit the exit and Epure was crippled.
