Benitez Busto Early On
Level 3
: 150/300, 300 ante
Abraham Benitez had lost the vast majority of his stack very early with Clement Cassagne benefitting from it as the chip leader on the table.
The action then saw a squeeze to 4,000 by Cyril Fernandez and Benitez got the last 6,475 in with Cassagne and Fernandez both calling.
After the 
flop, Cassagne check-called a bet worth 10,000 by Fernandez and they checked down the 
turn and 
river. Benitez rolled over the 
for king-high and Fernandez had that beat with the 
.
However, it was Cassagne who had the best of it again with 
to deal the final blow.
At almost the same time, Jorge Ufano was eliminated from the very next table and both Benitez and Ufano are expected to re-enter shortly.
