Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Niall Costigan three-bet to 16,500 in the cutoff and Roberto Bendeck called in the hijack. Costigan then moved all in on the J♥6♦2♦ flop, and Bendeck called for his last 40,000.
Roberto Bendeck: A♦8♦ 
Niall Costigan: 7♠7♥
Costigan was ahead with his pair, while Bendeck had two overcards and a flush draw. The J♣ turn was safe for Costigan, while the river came the 10♥ and Bendeck was sent to the rail as Costigan moved up past 200,000.
