Aces Boost Bendavid into Chip Lead
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bosco Li open-shoved for 300,000 from early position. Mimoun Bendavid took one look at his cards and slid forward a huge stack of chips, good for around 800,000, and enough to put any other player at the table all in. Nobody wanted to take the risk, and it was a good thing that they didn't.
Bosco Li: A♠10♠
Mimoun Bendavid: A♥A♦
Li had little hope, and couldn't hit anything on the 5♣8♠8♥9♥9♣. The additional chips extended Bendavid's chip lead over the table, as well as giving him the tournament's biggest stack.
