Kelly Sliding

Dan Kelly has tried raising a few times preflop and every time he is three-bet and forced to fold. Most recently, Kelly raised to 3,200 preflop only to have Mike Watson move all in. To call would cost Kelly his entire stack, and he opted to lay it down, dropping to 22,000 in the process.

Michael Benvenuti Eliminated in 10th Place ($8,460 AUD)

Michael Benvenuti
Michael Benvenuti

Action folded to Michael Benvenuti in the cutoff and he opened to 3,500, which Marvin Rettenmaier called from the big blind. Both players proceeded to check the {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, and the {Q-Diamonds} was put out on the turn. Rettenmaier was first to act and led out for 3,800, Benvenuti called, and the {K-Spades} hit the river.

Rettenmaier gave it a few moment's thought before moving all in, enough to put his opponent at risk. Benvenuti hit the tank for a solid three minutes before a clock was called. At this point, Benvenuti announced a call only to muck when Rettenmaier rolled over {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for trips. Benvenuti was eliminated on the hand in tenth place while Rettenmaier vaulted up to 158,000.

Another One For Rettenmaier

Marvin Rettenmaier opened the action with a 3,400 raise and Tyron Krost called from the cut-off. The flop came down {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Marvin took down the pot with a 4,200 chip bet. Rettenmaier double checked his cards as he was raking in the chips before letting go, maybe he wanted some more action on this hand?

Krost slips a bit to 40,000 while Rettenmaier slightly increases his chip lead.

From the hi-jack Marvin Rettenmaier raised to 3,400 and Pedley, from the cut-off, and Karamalikis, from the button, made the call.

The flop came down {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Rettenmaier bet 5,800. Pedley called and Karamalikis folded giving us heads up action on the turn. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Rettenmaier bet 11,400, Pedley called once more.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and Rettenmaier took another stab throwing out 13,800. Pedley made the call and showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and the German pro mucked his cards.
