Hellmuth Wins Lots off Benger

Griffin Benger opened under-the-gun to 1,700 and got three callers. Hellmuth in the hijack was one of them and would turn out to be the most trouble. Benger continuation-betted 3,300 on and Hellmuth immediately bumped it up to 7,000. Both the small blind and big blind folded and Benger made the call.

Benger checked to Hellmuth on the turn after which we got the first small speech. "I don't think I can bluff you, so I'll check." on the river and Benger put 9,600 in the middle. Hellmuth gave it some thoughts and than said "I'll just call."

Benger had to show the for the missed open-ended straight draw. Hellmuth turned over his and grabbed the chips in the pot. Hellmuth is having a good day so far and is now up to, what it looks like, 90,000.
