Nível 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Francisco Benitez limped in from the small blind, after which Martin Zamani made it 360,000 in the big blind. Benitez called and checked the 5♥9♥3♠ turn.

Zamani made a pot-sized bet of 840,000, after which Benitez raised to 2,360,000. Zamani three-bet jammed all in and Benitez called off 9,230,000 chips, the second-biggest stack on the table.

Francisco Benitez: K♥K♣9♣8♥ All in
Martin Zamani: 9♠8♦7♠5♣

Benitez's overpair and flush draw was up against Zamani's two pair and straight draw. The Q♥ turn brought Benitez the flush, while the 7♥ river did not improve Zamani to a full house.

The massive pot of nearly 20 million chips was shipped to Benitez, while Zamani was still left as the second biggest stack at the table.

Nível 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Francisco Benitez limped in on the button. Hokyiu Lee called in the small blind and Martin Zamani made it 320,000 to go in the big blind, seeing both of his opponents call.

The flop fell K♠A♣A♥. Lee checked to Zamani, who instantly bet the pot of 1,040,000 chips. Benitez put in a call before Lee got out of the way.

Zamani announced another pot-sized bet of 3,120,000 on the 2♣ turn, and received yet another call from Benitez. On the Q♠ river, Zamani jammed all in, covering the 3,315,000 chips of Benitez.

Benitez thought it over for a couple of minutes before Zamani called the clock on him.

However, Benitez folded before his countdown had started and the massive pot was shipped to Zamani, who regained his former chip lead.

Nível 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Short-stcaked Alex Foxen got his last 155,000 into the middle preflop and was called by Francisco Benitez and Hokyiu Lee to put him at risk.

The flop came out 6♣6♦8♠ and both players checked to the J♥ turn.

Benitez checked, Lee bet 200,000, and Benitez check-raised to 600,000. This led to a quick fold from Lee and the two remaining players tabled their cards.

Alex Foxen: A♦J♦7♠5♣ All in
Francisco Benitez: Q♥J♣8♣8♦

Foxen tapped the table when he realized he was drawing dead as Benitez already had a full house and the river 4♥ sent him to the payout desk in ninth place.

Christopher Roth raised to 130,000 on his button and Hokyiu Lee defended his big blind.

Lee check-called Roth's bet of 175,000 chips on the 3♦6♥7♦ flop before he checked again on the 3♥ turn.

After Roth had bet 400,000, Lee raised to 1,100,000. Roth then three-bet to 2,350,000, his entire stack. Lee asked for a count and mulled it over for a while.

"I have to think whether I'm drawing dead or not," he stated. Shortly after, he made the fold and forfeited the pot to Roth.
