Kirk Brown

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

After action folded to the blinds, Robert Waite, moved all in from the small blind and Sergio Benso slowly peeled his cards and then snap-called, tabling a monster.

Sergio Benso: A♠A♦ All in
Robert Waite: K♣3♥

The runout of A♣3♠7♥8♥4♣ only improved Benso to top set and he was pushed the pot for the double.

The very next hand, it was Benso who shoved from the small blind and Alen Bakovic called from the big blind to put him at risk once again.

Sergio Benso: Q♠J♥ All in
Alen Bakovic: 8♠8♥

Bakovic was in the lead with his pair, but the runout of 5♣3♦6♣J♣K♥ gave Benso a jack on the turn to take the pot for yet another double.

Brian Keith Etheridge opened to 1,500,000 and Marcus Ruiz called, but then Olegs Buiko put in a big three-bet to 7,500,000.
