Goncalves Surrenders Half Stack to Benitez
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With already 30,000 in the pot, Francisco Benitez bet 15,000 on the Q?10?J? flop. Mathieu Goncalves then raised to 30,000, and Benitez responded with another raise to 85,000, prompting Goncalves to push all in. Benitez called.
Francisco Benitez: K?9?
Mathieu Goncalves: J?10?
While Benitez flopped the straight and Goncalves had two pair, the turn and river cards Q?4? didn't favor Goncalves. Consequently, Benitez doubled up his 229,000 stack.
