Benardout Makes a Move
Nivel 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Neil Benardout raised to 3,500 in middle position and Gary Nordigian made the call on the button. David Lopes then three-bet to 15,000 in the small blind and both opponents called.
The dealer fanned out the 9♥7♦Q♠ flop, where Lopes led out for 15,000. Benardout took some time before announcing all in, sending Nordigian into the tank.
Nordigian opted to fold, putting the decision on Lopes. Lopes asked for a count, getting a reply of 76,000 from the leader. After a few minutes, Lopes slid his cards to the dealer and Benardout picked up a big pot with no further action.
