Marsala Cruising After Scoring Knockout with Aces

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action picked up with two players all-in before the flop, with Stephen Benkovic putting his final 12,000 chips at risk against Dawn Marsala.

Stephen Benkovic: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}.
Dawn Marsala: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Benkovic was far behind and needed a lot of help. He picked up a backdoor straight draw and a backdoor flush draw on the {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop but was drawing dead when the {2-Clubs} hit the turn.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board.

While Marsala is quietly climbing up the leaderboard, Benkovic has been sent to the rail.
