Benvenuto Keeps His Momentum

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After just eliminating Vanessa Selbst, Gianluca Benvenuto has just won another big pot and he is right in contention in this competition.

Rupert Elder raised to 95,000 in the hi-jack and Benvenuto three-bet from the small blind. The price was 33,000 and Elder paid it. The two of them shared a flop of {j-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} and they both decided to check. The turn was the {j-Clubs} and Benvenuto check-called a 28,000 Elder bet. On the river, the dealer floated a {k-Diamonds} from his hand and Benvenuto again checked. Elder put out a mouth-watering bet of 95,000 and after some consideration Benvenuto made the call and it was good.

Benvenuto: {q-Hearts} {q-Diamonds}
Elder: {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

Benvenuto ~ 660,000
Elder ~ 351,000
