Fairly short-stacked Hugo Benitez opened to 180,000 from UTG+1, leaving himself with 20,000 behind. Jose Maria Nieto Martin then moved all-in for roughly 800,000 from the Hi-jack. The decision eventually came to Benyamin Canatan on the Button, who committed his 620,000 to make the call. When action was back on Benitez, he put in his last chips to make the call.
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: Q♦Q♥
Benyamin Canatan: J♠J♦
Hugo Benitez: J♥10♥
Things were looking good for Martin to score a double knockout. The 2♣7♦9♦ flop didn’t threaten his ladies. The turn was the 10♦, and for good measure, Martin improved to a set on the Q♣ river. As such, he sent two players to the rail and improved his stack significantly.
Jose Maria Nieto Martin: 1,650,000
Benyamin Canatan: 0
Hugo Benitez: 0
