Joël Benzinou
At the end of the first level, blinds 50/100 Joël Benzinou from Team Titan doubles-up.
The UTG player raises to 250 and UTG + 2 makes it more expensive (550 total). Benzinou calls from the button with 3♣4♣.
The flop comes: K♥4♦4♠
UTG checks, UTG +2 bets 1100 and Joël Benzinou calls. UTG folds.
On the turn, 7♥ UTG+2 opens to 2,500. Benzinou raises to 6K and his opponent moves all-in. Snap-call from Benzinou.
UTG+2 quickly shows his pocket Aces which is not enough to take the pot. Nevertheless, he stays alive with around 4K.
Joël Benzinou is now left sitting behind one of the biggest stacks of the poker room with 57,500 chips.
