Di Benedetto Vanished
Raffaello di Benedetto was a big stack in the previous break but now among the early exits of level nine. According to players on the table, he bluffed away most of his stack in many smaller hands and then jammed a few times to remain around 24,000 chips. Those moved over one spot to Tomasz Kozub with pocket tens versus when the Pole spiked an ace on the flop.
Kozub himself played a small pot against Matthias de Clercq, calling a raise of the Belgian to see a flop of . The continuation bet of de Clercq was called before both checked the on the turn. De Clercq took another stab at the pot without showdown by firing 7,900 on the river and Kozub gave up.
While de Clercq is one of the big stacks, he is not the current chip leader. That honor belongs to Stefan Mattsson one table over.
