Petrone Takes From Benitez to Extend Lead
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ramiro Petrone limped the small blind, Francisco Benitez raised to 45,000 in the big blind, Petrone jammed, and Benitez folded.
On the next hand, Petrone opened to 35,000 on the button, and Francisco flat-called in the small blind.
The 
flop was checked to the 
turn, and Benitez check called for 75,000. The 
completed the board, Benitez checked, and Petrone bet 180,000. Benitez deliberated and used a time extension, but ultimately conceded the pot to the Argentinian chipleader.
