Cada Stops the Benvenuto American Attack

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Joe Cada gets very lucky on the river
Joe Cada gets very lucky on the river

Gianluca Benvenuto is on a personal crusade to remove all of the Americans from his table. He eliminated Vanessa Selbst, crippled Carter Phillips and just came one card away from eliminating former world champion Joe Cada.

Cada raised to 14,000 on the button, the small blind called before Benvenuto squeezed out a three-bet from the big blind. We were unable to count the bet size before Cada moved all-in. Benvenuto asked for a quick count and then made the call.

Cada: {a-Spades} {j-Hearts}
Benvenuto: {a-Diamonds} {k-Hearts}

Benvenuto was on the verge of becoming our chip leader. He had his eyes closed and was muttering some words to himself.

Flop: {q-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}

Turn: {6-Diamonds}

Benvenuto was still talking to himself but he opened his eyes. Cada pushed his chair back and began to stand up.

River: {j-Diamonds}

Cada sat back down while the dealer handed him 550,000 and Benvenuto got a consolatory pat on the back from a colleague - he now has 630,000
