Anthony Guetti - 430,000
David Benyamine - 170,000

Guetti's Goes Runner-Runner to Pull Even With Benyamine

[user197301] • Level 10: 8,000-16,000, 0 ante

Anthony Guetti pushed all-in preflop and after squeezing his cards slowly, David Benyamine made the call, flipping over {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. Guetti showed the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and the players were off to the races. A flop of {K-Clubs}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts} seemed to be a great development for Benyamine, as he made top pair/top kicker. The Frenchman grimaced aloud when the turn brought the {Q-Diamonds}, a card which gave Guetti an open ended straight draw and 7 additional outs. The {A-Clubs} on the river was one of those outs, and Guetti's runner-runner Broadway straight gave him a pot in excess of 250,000 chips. Benyamine had yet to utilize his last 100,000 add-on however, so these two could be in for a lengthy duel.

Marafioti Over Maxim

[user197301] • Level 10: 8,000-16,000, 0 ante

Matt Marafioti and Maxim Lykov found themselves all-in preflop with Marafioti holding {10-}{10-} and Lykov holding {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The Russian was far behind Marafioti's pair of tens, and a final board of {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{K-Spades} offered no help, eliminating Lykov and sending Marafioti on the next round of competition. All players who reach the Round of 16 have earned themselves a payday of at least $67,436.
