Level 17
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The action folded to Ren Lin in the small blind, and he limped in. Francisco Benitez then checked his option in the big blind, and the two went off to a flop of 9♣6♥4♣, which they both checked.
The J♥ turn then saw Lin bet 100,000 and Benitez call before Lin made a bigger bet of 325,000 on the 2♥ river. Benitez spent one time bank extension before putting in the calling chips but mucked his hand once he saw Lin table 6♠4♦ for two pair.
Benitez was left with less than seven big blind after this encounter, making him the shortest stack of the tournament.
