Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Rania Nasreddine opened to 30,000 from early position before Francisco Benitez made it 140,000 from the small blind. Nasredinne four-bet to 280,000 and after using two time-banks, Benitez called.
On the 8♣7♠2♠ flop, Benitez checked and Nasredinne fired out 300,000 into a pot of 590,000. Benitez jammed as the bigger stack, and Nasreddine, who had 500,000 more behind, snap-called.
Rania Nasreddine: A♠A♦
Francisco Benitez: Q♠Q♥
Nasreddine was in great shape to double up but the 8♠ turn gave Benitez extra outs to the flush.
"No spade, no spade," she pleaded ahead of the river.
The river card was black, but it was the K♣, and she raked in the massive pot.
