Goncalves Surrenders Half Stack to Benitez
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With already 30,000 in the pot, Francisco Benitez bet 15,000 on the Q♠10♣J♣ flop. Mathieu Goncalves then raised to 30,000, and Benitez responded with another raise to 85,000, prompting Goncalves to push all in. Benitez called.
Francisco Benitez: K♦9♠
Mathieu Goncalves: J♦10♥
While Benitez flopped the straight and Goncalves had two pair, the turn and river cards Q♣4♦ didn't favor Goncalves. Consequently, Benitez doubled up his 229,000 stack.
