Benitez Runs Into a Set; Peluso Shoves on Ustinovich

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marc Foggin

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.
