Benson Doubles Through Fadersen

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded around to Dinesh Alt in the hijack, who raised to 90,000 in chips. Michael Fadersen then announced all in from the cut-off for his remaining 900,000 in chips. Gary Benson then joined the party, by moving all in for his last 370,000 in chips from the small blind. Alt got out of the way, as both players tabled their cards.

Fadersen: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Benson: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board bricked for Fadersen, as it ran out {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, giving Benson a much needed double-up.

Play Resumes

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The remaining eight players have returned from their break, and will continue with blinds at 20,000/40,000 with a 5,000 ante.

Big Hand Before the Break

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

In the last hand before the break, [Removed:480] opened to 60,000 in chips. Dinesh Alt was sitting in the hijack, and opted to raise to 160,000 in chips. Divkovic came back over the top and raised an additional 130,000 to 290,000 in chips which was called. The board fell {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} as both players checked. The {9-Spades} on the turn saw Divkovic bet out 120,000 in chips, and get called. When the {3-Clubs} completed the board, Divkovic slowly counted out 400,000 in chips, and slid them into the middle. Alt sat motionless for a minute before announcing all in for 755,000 in chips which was instantly called.

Divkovic: {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Alt: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The crowd erupted when Divkovic turned over his cards for a full house, but were even more shocked when Alt tabled his cards for a better full house.

“What a slow-roll,” was heard from the rail.

Divkovic didn’t think so, as he acknowledged his opponents good play.

Divkovic Regains the Lead

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The action started with David Campion opening to 65,000 from middle position and finding a call from [Removed:480] in the big blind. The flop came {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{A-Spades} and both players checked. The {3-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Divkovic checked. Campion threw out 100,000 in chips, before being re-raised to 200,000. Campion made the call, as the river produced the {K-Diamonds}. Divkovic moved all in for his remaining 900,000 in chips and after a minute, Campion made the call.

Divkovic tabled {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights, as Campion could only shake his head, mucking his cards. After the chips were counted, Campion was left with only 50,000 in chips.

Divkovic tanked for a minute before making the call as both players tabled their cards.

Divkovic: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Let’s Get It In

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Another hand has seen a short stack commit all his chips in pre-flop and find a caller. Dinesh Alt moved all in for his last 500,000 in chips and was called by [Removed:480].

Alt: {K-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Divkovic: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}, to see Alt’s trip kings dodge a jack on the river to win the hand.

Benson vs. Kelly

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Gary Benson opened from the button and found a caller in Dan Kelly, as both saw the flop come {9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Kelly checked over to Benson who made a continuation bet of 75,000 in chips. Kelly then instantly moved all in for an infinite amount of chips, which forced a fold from Benson.
