Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Benjamin Hamnett
Benjamin Hamnett

Huseyin Akgul opened in late position to 3,000 before Benjamin Hamnett three-bet from the cutoff to 7,500. Akgul called and they were heads up to a flop.

The 7?8?3? flop landed and the action checked to Hamnett who continued for 8,500. Akgul called.

The J? landed on the turn and it checked to Hamnett again who sat in the tank for a moment before sizing up to 18,500.

After about a minute in the tank Akgul called and the 8? hit the river. The action checked through and Akgul tabled 6?7? for bottom pair before Hamnett tabled 9?9? for middle pair and a great turn value bet.
