Ghaneian, Bennett Show Friendly Side of Poker

Niveau 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Poker is a competitive game, but it can also bring about friendly competition.

WSOP bracelet winner Arash Ghaneian and Steven Bennett provided proof of the latter scenario during a hand.

Ghaneian raised preflop in late position, and Bennett called in the small blind. The two men looked at each other and chuckled.

The dealer fanned 4♥A♣9♥ on the board. Bennett checked, and Ghaneian followed with his own check.

“No way!” Bennett said after Ghaneian acted.

The 8♥ showed up on the turn, and Bennett once again checked. This time, though, Ghaneian bet 175,000 and Bennett folded, showing 6♣4♣ face up.

Ghaneian then showed Bennett what he had before tabling A♠8♠ for the rest of the table.

“Sneaky!” Bennett exclaimed, which got a laugh out of Ghaneian.
