Alavali Gets Most of Leonard's Chips

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard opened to 2,200 in early position and Jargo "bungakat" Alavali called in the cutoff. Everyone else folded and the two players saw a flop of {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

The {j-Spades} turn saw Leonard lead for 2,277, get raised by Alavali to 9,837, which Leonard re-raised to 18,000. Alavali called and the {k-Hearts} peeled off on the river. Leonard led for 52,500, leaving just 194 chips behind, and Alavali called.

Leonard showed {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} which wasn't good enough to beat the {9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} of Alavali. The hand left Leonard with less than a big blind which he lost a couple hands later.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Benitez check-raised Astedt's 3,068 lead up to 10,233. Astedt then made it 26,604 to go and Benitez put his 61,945 in the middle.

Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez: {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Benitez flopped the goods and Astedt's ladies were drawing slim. The {8-Diamonds} turn gave him some outs to fill up on the river but the {2-Diamonds} completed the board, sending Benitez the pot.
