Benitez Doubles Off Wenzelburger; Wenzelburger Gets It Right Back
Action folded to Philipp Wenzelburger who moved all in from the small blind. Francisco Benitez peeked at his cards in the big blind and snap-called for 400,000.
Francisco Benitez: Q♣Q♥ 
Philipp Wenzelburger: K♠2♠
"Germany against phenom poker. Germany against Uruguay. Who's better at soccer?" tablemate Rania Nasreddine said heading to the 4♦3♦J♥ flop. The rest of the 7♦4♣ board missed Wenzelburger and Benitez doubled up.
The next hand, Nasreddine raised to 50,000, Wenzelburger moved all in for 425,000 on the button, and Nasreddine called.
Philipp Wenzelburger: 2♣2♥
Rania Nasreddine: A♥K♥
"Deuces never lose," Nasreddine said.
"Now I will lose, I know," Wenzelburger replied. The flop came 2♦3♦6♦ and Wenzelburger hit a set to take a big lead in the hand.
"Diamond for a chop," Nasreddine said after the 7♦ turn, but the river was the 2♠ and Wenzelburger hit quads to double up.
"If I'm going to lose to twos, I want it to be quads," Nasreddine said as she paid off the all in.
