Level 1
: 250/500, 60 ante
Action folded around to Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez in the cutoff and he opened to 1,150. He received a call from "icedavid," who defended their big blind.
The flop came 
and "icedavid" checked. Benitez made a continuation-bet of 1,020 and "icedavid" check-raised to 3,000. Benitez called.
The flop was 
and "icedavid" fired out 10,000. Benitez called to bring the river 
on board. Both players checked to take the hand to showdown.
"icedavid" showed 
for a busted nut flush draw and a rivered pair of deuces, which was no good to Benitez's 
, good for a pair of jacks that earned him the early pot.
