Benítez Eliminates Two Short Stacks
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Three short stacks were all-in, with Hugo Benítez covering both opponents. More than 40,000 chips were already in the pot as the dealer prepared to run out the board.
Early Position: 9♥9♠ 
Big Blind: 10♥10♦
Hugo Benítez: A♠Q♦
Benítez needed to connect with high cards, and the J♥Q♣6♥ flop delivered exactly that, pairing his queen. The 5♠ turn and 3♠ river changed nothing, sending both short stacks to the rail.
Benítez dragged the pot and boosted his stack to nearly 200,000 chips.
