Bendeck Rivers Gin

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a river with the under-the-gun player all in, play was heads-up between Roberto Bendeck in the hijack and the big blind. Bendeck lead for 10,000 on the board of {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the big blind called to create at least a 40,000 chip pot.

Bendeck flipped over {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a rivered set, which was good to win against the big blind and bust the short-stacked player under-the-gun.
