Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On the first hand back from break, Marty Mathis cold four-bet over an open and a three-bet from David "Raptor" Benefield. Benefield moved all in, Mathis called, and the two chopped the pot with ace-king.

On the very next hand, there was an open to 24,000, Benefield three-bet to 65,000, and Mathis cold four-bet to 165,000. The action folded back to Benefield, who moved all in once again. Mathis calling, putting himself at risk and creating a roughly 1.4 million-chip pot.

Benefield: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Mathis: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Mathis was crushed, and Benefield extended his lead when the flop fell {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. It was all over when the {9-Diamonds} turned, and a meaningless {6-Diamonds} completed the board. Mathis hit the rail, while Benefield is up to 1.585 million chips.
