Benitez Doubles Off Wenzelburger; Wenzelburger Gets It Right Back
Action folded to Philipp Wenzelburger who moved all in from the small blind. Francisco Benitez peeked at his cards in the big blind and snap-called for 400,000.
Francisco Benitez: Q?Q? 
Philipp Wenzelburger: K?2?
"Germany against phenom poker. Germany against Uruguay. Who's better at soccer?" tablemate Rania Nasreddine said heading to the 4?3?J? flop. The rest of the 7?4? board missed Wenzelburger and Benitez doubled up.
The next hand, Nasreddine raised to 50,000, Wenzelburger moved all in for 425,000 on the button, and Nasreddine called.
Philipp Wenzelburger: 2?2?
Rania Nasreddine: A?K?
"Deuces never lose," Nasreddine said.
"Now I will lose, I know," Wenzelburger replied. The flop came 2?3?6? and Wenzelburger hit a set to take a big lead in the hand.
"Diamond for a chop," Nasreddine said after the 7? turn, but the river was the 2? and Wenzelburger hit quads to double up.
"If I'm going to lose to twos, I want it to be quads," Nasreddine said as she paid off the all in.
