Benelli Versus Westmorland
From the hijack it was Andrea Benelli who raised it up to 16,000. Next door neighbor Jordan Westmorland made the call from the cutoff, Denis Pisarev on the button came along, and Vicky Coren in the big blind called as well.
Coren checked to Benelli on 
. The seasoned Italian pro made a 26,000 continuation bet and just Westmorland made the call, Pisarev and Coren folded. Benelli checked the 
on the turn and called after Westmorland bet out 55,000. Both players checked the 
river and Benelli's 
proofed good enough for the win.
Not much later the two of 'em battled it out again. In a single raised pot it was Benelli who had the initiative. He bet out 15,000 on 
and Westmorland made the call. Both players checked the 
on the turn and the dealer burned and put the 
on the river. Benelli now bet 24,000 and Westmorland made the call.
Benelli tabled 
with some confidence, but that hand was no good. Westmorland turned over 
and raked in the chips.
