Nasreddine Continues to Get the Better of Benitez
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Rania Nasreddine opened to 30,000 from early position before Francisco Benitez made it 140,000 from the small blind. Nasredinne four-bet to 280,000 and after using two time-banks, Benitez called.
On the 8?7?2? flop, Benitez checked and Nasredinne fired out 300,000 into a pot of 590,000. Benitez jammed as the bigger stack, and Nasreddine, who had 500,000 more behind, snap-called.
Rania Nasreddine: A?A?
Francisco Benitez: Q?Q?
Nasreddine was in great shape to double up but the 8? turn gave Benitez extra outs to the flush.
"No spade, no spade," she pleaded ahead of the river.
The river card was black, but it was the K?, and she raked in the massive pot.
