Bendinelli Doubles Through Alt

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Giuliano Bendinelli
Giuliano Bendinelli

Soon after returning from the last break, the action folded all the way to Giuliano Bendinelli in the small blind. He had not looked at his cards yet and rubbed the hands. Once he had checked the cards, he shrugged and said "let's do it" before he pushed his short stack of 5,700.

Dinesh Alt called after a few seconds and Bendinelli showed "top of the range", exposing the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Alt had the {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and both players made a full house on the {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} board for Bendinelli to double.
