Rollercoaster Runout Sees Bennett Double

Brett Slezak

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michael Bennett from the cutoff and Jose Garcia from the button saw a flop of 10♥8♥2♥ with around 1,800,000 in the middle already. Bennett's remaining 2,320,000 found its way into the middle, and he was at risk against the covering stack of Garcia.

Michael Bennett: 10♦10♣ All in
Jose Garcia: J♥J♦

Bennett had outflopped the jacks of Garcia with his set of tens, but Garcia held the only heart. The 5♥ turn vaulted Garcia into the lead with a flush as he pleaded for no board pair.

However, the 2♠ landed on the river, giving Bennett a full house for the winner in a dramatic runout.

There was three-way all in action preflop, with Jeffrey Latka at risk for 700,000 from the small blind, Chris Nelson at risk for just over 600,000 from early position, and Erik Gault from middle position who had both players covered.

Chris Nelson: A♠Q♣ All in
Jeffrey Latka: A♦K♣
Erik Gault: 10♥10♦

The J♣9♦5♣ flop kept the tens in the lead, and the 10♣ turn was a sweaty card, giving Gault a set, while Latka picked up the better flush draw.

The river was the 3♣, giving Latka the winner with a king-high flush, while Nelson was eliminated.

Shortly before the hand, Tal Ron was eliminated after getting his short stack into the middle with K♣6♣, falling to the Q♥3♦ of Osterbauer for about three and a half blinds.

Finally, at a third table, Jonathan Roeder and Aydan Saunders were tangled in a pot with the completed board reading 10♦8♠2♥3♥9♦. On the river, Saunders check-called a bet of 1,500,000 from Roeder, only to be shown 9♠9♣ for a set, leaving Saunders with 50,000.
