Just a Pot of More than Half a Million

Benjamin Westergaard

Picking up the action on the :::8h:::8s:::7s:::Jc:::3h river, Salah Amran had fired 66,000 and Benjamin Westergaard check-raised all in for 226,000 in total. Amran needed some time to make the decision as he was the player at risk with slightly less chips. He stood up, studied the board and the opponent … and tossed in a single chip for the call.

Westergaard flipped over his :::Ac{10c} for a missed gutshot after the turn and Amran was delighted, smashing his :::As:::8d to the middle of the table for flopped trips. Amran is up to more than half a million while the Dane needs a miracle.

Salah Amran 580,000 374,000
Benjamin Westergaard 26,000 -249,000
