Benitez Doubles Through Ponakovs
Level 4
: 500/1,000, 125 ante
Russia's "jakedini" showed a big bluff with jack-six high after they had jammed the river and forced a fold from Jargo Alavali. "ULMFKR" also lost a big pot albeit without showdown against "jakedini" and up next there was an all-in showdown on the same table.
In a three-bet pot to the 
flop with 6,000 each invested, Francisco "VaPaCooler" Benitez engaged in a raising war with Aleksejs Ponakovs that got all the chips in the middle.
Francisco "VaPaCooler" Benitez: 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 
The 
turn locked up the double for Benitez and the 
river didn't matter.
