Michael Benvenuti Eliminated in 9th Place ($52,406)

Michael Benvenuti - 9th place
Michael Benvenuti - 9th place

Stephen Chidwick raised to 50,000 from the hijack only to have Michael Benvenuti bet pot, leaving himself just 64,000 behind. The blinds got out of the way and Chidwick made the call. When the flop came down {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, Chidwick led out and Benvenuti committed his remaining chips.

Benvenuti: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Chidwick: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Chidwick's sixes were ahead, but Benvenuti was a favorite with his plethora of draws. The {8-Spades} turn left Chidwick looking for an ace, king, queen, or club to win the pot, but it was not in the cards as the {J-Diamonds} paired the board. Chidwick's small pocket pair held to eliminate Benvenuti in ninth place.
