Bennici Doubles Through Big Stack
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Modar Alsoud, who started the day in the top ten counts, had chipped up a bit when he raised to 10,000 in early position. It folded to Eric Bennici in the cutoff, who decided to wager his stack of 81,000 from the cutoff.
Alsoud asked for a count when it had folded back to him and called shortly after receiving the correct number.
Eric Bennici: A♠A♥ 
Modar Alsoud: 7♠7♥
Alsoud flopped some extra on 6♦8♥4♠, but neither the 3♣ turn nor the 8♠ river provided further help. Bennici doubled with his aces, ending with 35 big blinds in his stack.
