Michael Benvenuti Eliminated in 10th Place ($8,460 AUD)
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 
flop, and the 
was put out on the turn. Rettenmaier was first to act and led out for 3,800, Benvenuti called, and the 
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 
for trips. Benvenuti was eliminated on the hand in tenth place while Rettenmaier vaulted up to 158,000.

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.

Slow Going
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
One level is in the books here on Day 2 of Event #6 and is was quite uneventful. Flops were few and far between, and no significant amount of chips changed hands. We'd like to say we're surprised, but the fact of the matter is the stacks are fairly deep and the quality of the players at this final table is second to none.
