Deyra Chipping Up

Shirley Ang

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ivan Deyra started the day with a mere 40,000 but was sporting a much healthier stack just after the break of around 350,000.

Action folded to Deyra on the button who looked at Sergio Benso's stack in the big blind. The player in the small blind got up from his chair too to see how much he had behind. Deyra then decided to raise to 38,000. The small blind folded and Benso took some time before announcing he was all-in for just over 100,000. Deyra quickly flicked in some chips for the call.

Sergio Benso:
Ivan Deyra:

The flop came for Benso to hit two pair immediately.

The turn was the which didn't change things but the on the river gave Deyra a set of deuces to send Benso to the payout desk.
