Andrea Benelli Eliminated in 7th Place (�45,746)

[user25067]

Andrea Benelli was just eliminated at the hands of Dario Minieri in a bit of Italian-on-Italian violence.

Benellil open-shoved for his remaining 111,000 and Minieri called on the button. It was a race situation, Benelli's {J-Spades}

up against Minieri's {A-Hearts}

.

The flop was a sweat-tastic {8-Clubs}

, Benelli's overpair still holding, but Minieri hot on his heels with two overs and the nut flush draw. Minieri hit that flush when the {3-Hearts}

arrived on the turn, rendering the river card, the {8-Spades}

, meaningless.

Benelli graciously shook his fellow countryman's hand on his way out and wished him good luck. He'll take home �45,746 for his finish here in Warsaw.

Down to 6.
