Benitez Runs Into a Set; Peluso Shoves on Ustinovich

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 7♦3♠6♥, Francisco Benitez bet 22,000 from under the gun before Marc Foggin moved all in from the big blind. Benitez snap-called.

Francisco Benitez: J♥J♦
Marc Foggin: 6♠6♦

Foggin showed Benitez the bad news when he flipped over a set of sixes as he was poised to crack Benitez's pair of jacks. The board ran out 7♣9♠ and Foggins finished with a full house to earn the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Foggin had 190,000 remaining, barely covering Benitez's stack. The Uruguayan high roller didn't even wait for instructions on how to collect his payout before he stormed off to the exit.

Meanwhile, a big pot was brewing at another table between Fabio Peluso and Oleg Ustinovich.

Peluso bet 58,000 from the cutoff on a board of 10♠J♦2♠9♥ and Ustinovich called in early position. The river came the Q♥ and Peluso then moved all in.

Ustinovich had around 120,000 remaining and burned through a time bank before tossing his cards into the muck.

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A pot of around 170,000 was already in the middle as Gary Miller and Angelos Michael went to the turn on a board of 2♥10♥A♣7♦.

Miller then bet 124,000 from middle position before Michael burned through several time banks. He eventually announced he was all in for around 280,000 and Miller snap-called.

Michael turned over A♦8♦ for top pair, but he was already drawing dead against Miller's A♠10♠ for two pair. The river was the 3♦ and Miller scooped the massive pot to send Michael to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Michele D'Angelo got his last 100,000 in from the cutoff against Priit Parmasto in the big blind with the flop showing 5♥9♥4♥.

Luo Spikes the River on Mouawad

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jose Gonzalez's table just witnessed another all-in confrontation, and this time it was between Shuang Luo and Joe Mouawad.

The two opponents went to the 5♣5♦10♣ flop where Mouawad got his last 54,000 in the middle from the big blind as Luo had him at risk from early position.

Joe Mouawad: J♣10♠
Shuang Luo: A♦K♥

Mouawad was ahead with two pair heading to the J♠ turn, which improved him to a higher two pair. The river, though, was the Q♣ and Luo made a straight to send Mouawad to the rail.

"Sorry," she told him. Gonzalez then got up from his seat to shake Mouwad's hand.

"It was nice playing with you," he told Mouawad.

"You too. Good luck," Mouawad said, waving goodbye to his now-former tablemates before heading off to collect his payout.

Ilia Pavlov raised to 13,000 in the cutoff and Dario Sammartino defended his big blind.

Sammartino again called to the 8♠ river and checked over to Pavlov, who this time checked back and mucked when Sammartino turned over 7♣7♠ to win the pot.

At the same time at another table, Amir Hatefi moved all in for his last 100,000 on a J♠6♦8♣ flop from the hijack and Harald Sammer called on the button.

Amir Hatefi: Q♣J♣
Harald Sammer: K♦K♣

Hatefi had flopped top pair, but Sammer showed him a pair of kings and left Hatefi looking for help on the turn and river. None arrived as the dealer flipped over 4♥10♠, sending Hatefi to the rail.

Gonzalez Wins Cooler to Move Stack Over a Million

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jose Gonzalez opened the cutoff to 12,000 before Benjamin Tessier defended his big blind and they were off to a flop heads up.

The A♣3♥10♦ flop hit the felt and action checked to Gonzalez who continued for 8,000. Without thinking for too long Tessier put in a flop check-raise to 23,000. Gonzalez called.

The 2♦ landed on the turn introducing a backdoor flush draw and Tessier opted to continue the story for 54,000. Gonzalez came with a call once again.

The 5♦ landed on the river completing the backdoor flush and Tessier didn't skip a beat and led again for a large bet of 150,000. Gonzalez went into the tank and after a full time bank he announced he was all in. Although Tessier didn't look excited about it, he flicked in a call for his tournament life. The cards were tabled and the cooler was real.

Gonzalez rolled over A♦Q♦ for the rivered backdoor nut flush and Tessier tabled 4♦6♠ for the rivered nut straight with the flush blocker.

Tessier hit the rail and Gonzalez dragged a massive pot to move over the one million chip mark for the first time today.
