Imad Derwiche
Imad Derwiche

Imad Derwiche moved all in for 550,000 from the button. Francisco Benitez called in the big blind.

Imad Derwiche: {q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Francisco Benitez: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Derwiche was dominated and at risk. There was no helping the colourful Frenchman as the board ran out clean for Benitez when it came {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} to eliminate Derwiche in third place for just over €300,000

Maue Doubles Up

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Francisco Benitez limped from the small blind/button before Leonard Maue moved all in for 1,760,000. Benitez called to try and win the tournament.

Leonard Maue: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Francisco Benitez: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

It was a flip for Benitez to win the tournament. The flop came {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} which put Maue firmly ahead. However the turn was the {k-Diamonds} which put Benitez in control. Benitez was one card from winning his third EPT title of this series. However Maue could hit a diamond to stay alive. Maue's journey wasn't ending yet as the river came the {9-Diamonds} to double him up with a flush.

Maue Wins at Showdown

Level 26 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Francisco Benitez limped from the small blind/button and Leonard Maue checked behind.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Maue check-called Beneitez's 175,000 bet.

The {j-Hearts} was the turn and again Maue check-called. This time the bet was 375,000.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Benitez decided to give up as action went check-check. Maue showed {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for two pair which was enough to take down the pot as Benitez mucked.
