Benedek Finds Kings When He Needs Them

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Farkas Benedek
Farkas Benedek

Farkas Benedek's stack had plummeted to just 16,200, and after some raising back and forth, all of his chips found their way into the middle against a player in middle position who was looking to eliminate him.

Farkas Benedek: KK All in
Middle position: QQ

Benedek had the goods with pocket kings, and he managed to fade the bad beat on the 49J2A runout, allowing him to double up to around a third of the starting stack.
