Francisco Benitez raised to 400,000 on the button before Martin Zamani three-bet to 1,320,000 in the small blind. Benitez called and raised all in once Zamani bet 2,760,000 on the 4♥10♥Q♠ flop.
Zamani called the bet of 3,975,000, creating a showdown in the eight-figure pot.
Francisco Benitez: A♦Q♦J♠5♠
Martin Zamani: 8♥5♥7♥6♦
The 9♦8♣ runout gave both players a straight, but Benitez had the higher one as he doubled up, getting nearly even in stacks with his nemesis.
