Bruno Benveniste has moved from 13,000 to 45,400 in two hands.
Hand 1
Benveniste raised to 1,100 under the gun and Kent Lundmark three-bet to 2,250 in the cut-off. The action folded around quickly and Benveniste moved all-in for 13,000 and Lundmark made the call.

Hand 2
Brian Powell raised to 900 on the button, Bryn Kenney three-bet to 2,800 in the small blind and Bruno Benveniste four-bet to 8,200 from the big blind. The action fell back to Powell and he tanked for at least four-minutes before folding. Bryn Kenney didn't need four-minutes; he moved all-in and Benveniste counted his stack before making the call.

Peter Jetten just won a big pot and since we just missed the action he brought us up to speed. After a raise and a re-raise the action got to Jetten who was in the small blind and he decided to four-bet. The initial raiser shoved his remaining 25,000 into the pot and Jetten called.
The Canadian pro was well ahead with pocket kings and his hand held up against two nines. After that pot Jetten is our new chipleader with 70,000 chips.
