Benson Finds a Double
Level 20
: Limits 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
A-5 Triple Draw
Action was picked up between three players just before the first draw with around 150,000 in the middle. Michael Boik drew one from the big blind, Stephan Nussrallah drew two from under the gun and Gary Benson drew one from the button.
After the first draw Boik bet and was called by both opponents. All three players then drew one, checked and drew one again.
With no draws remaining action checked around to Benson who bet, committing his last 15,000 chips in the process. Boik folded while Nussrallah made the call, tabling an eight with 8x6x5x3x2x. Benson had a six with 6x5x3x2xAx and dragged in more than a full double up.
