Monster Pot Sends Benelli Into the Chip Lead

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We saw a commotion over in the corner of the room and made our way over to find out what it was all about.

When we arrive, the dealer was busy counting out chips while three players looked at the {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board in amazement. Another observer revealed that action had exploded on the turn, which is where both the shortest stack, Jacobus Visser, and Andrea Benelli, who had 30,000 or so, got their chips in against EPT9 Barcelona champ Mikalai Pobal. Based on the cards they had laid out in front of them, it was easy to see why.

Pobal: {8-Spades}{9-Spades}
Visser: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Benelli: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Both Visser and Benelli had flopped sets, but of course the latter's was best. Meanwhile, Pobal had turned an open-ended straight draw to go with his flush draw. The {2-Clubs} river was a blank, and Benelli tripled into the chip lead while Visser was sent to the rail.
