Troyanovskiy Hero Calls Benitez
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Philipp Wenzelburger opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and received a call from Francisco Benitez on the button before Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 175,000 from the small blind. Wenzelburger mucked his hand while Benitez made the call.
Both players checked the J?3?3? flop leading to the J? turn. Troyanovskiy check-called a 100,000 bet from Benitez.
Troyanovskiy checked again on the 6? river and Benitez bet 340,000. Troyanovskiy went into the tank, burning through four time extensions before finally sticking in the call.
Benitez could only show 2?2? for a tiny pocket pair that had been counterfeited by the turn. Troyanovskiy tabled A?Q? for just an ace-kicker to the two pair that was on the board and dragged in a sizable pot.
