Benitez Soars Over Half A Mill

Level 9 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Rolle falls to Benitez
Rolle falls to Benitez

Francisco "VaPaCooler" Benitez raised to 4,800 in middle position and Benjamin Rolle defended the big blind. Rolle check-called 3,300 on the {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop and 8,934 on the {10-Diamonds} turn.

The river brought the {j-Clubs} and Rolle led out for 14,831. Benitez shoved in response for 75,329 and Rolle called after much deliberation with {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

Unfortunately for the German, Benitez tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nuts to soar up the leaderboard.

"PUYA" Flops Set in Three-Bet Pot

Level 9 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

"PUYA" raised to 5,280 in the cutoff and Tauan Naves three-bet to 18,480 in the small blind. "PUYA" called with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to see a dream flop of {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} appear. Navas bet 21,360 and "PUYA" went all for 162,894.

Navas called for 61,090 more with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} but, much to his dismay, saw he was outflopped. Neither the {4-Hearts} turn nor {5-Diamonds} river turned it around and Naves was out.

Vieira Bricks the Draw

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 4,200 and Joao Vieira called on the button. The flop came {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Dzivielevski checked. Vieira bet 4,020, Dzivielevski check-raised to 14,000, Vieira three-bet shoved 60,622 and the Brazilian called.

Joao Vieira: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Yuri Dzivielevski: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

A pair of tens proved enough as the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, sending Vieira on a reentry.

Hellmuth vs. Negreanu
Hellmuth vs. Negreanu

After months of jawing, Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu finally met on the felt for a heads-up match for $100,000 in PokerGO's "High Stakes Duel."

And the wait proved to be worth it as they did not disappoint.

A lengthy, six-hour battle would see Negreanu go up huge. The needles flew as he pulled out a few props to rub some salt in the wounds he was opening on his longtime rival.

Van Der Spuy Makes A Massive Shove

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
"Kunkuwap" Gets There
"Kunkuwap" Gets There

Jean-Pierre "Kunkuwap" Van Der Spuy raised to 4,200 in middle position and Connor Drinan defended the big blind. So far, it was business as usual but that all changed on the {6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop. Drinan checked and Van Der Spuy simply ripped it in for 192,174.

Drinan paused before calling off for 191,016, creating by far the biggest pot of the day thus far.

Connor Drinan: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Jean-Pierre "Kunkuwap" Van Der Spuy: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Both stacks and equity were nearly identical and Drinan remained ahead after the {k-Diamonds} turn. The {k-Clubs} river, though, completed "Kunkuwap"'s flush draw and gave him a sizable chip lead.
