Benitez Spikes Turn to Double
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Francisco Benitez opened to 2,400,000 and Livingston just called to see a flop of K?9?4?.
The two players then quickly got all of their chips into the middle, with Benitez at risk.
Francisco Benitez: A?K?Q?J?
Alex Livingston: K?9?8?6?
"We need to fade big cards," Livingston told his rail, but the turn 10? immediately gave Benitez the nut stright for a big lead. Livingston would need to hit a king or nine to secure the bracelet, but the river was the 5? to earn the double for Benitez.
