Alkalay Doubles

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Uruguayan high roller Francisco Benitez opened the action from middle position with a raise to 1,000. Adi Alkalay, like Benitez in middle position, three-bet to 3,200 and just Benitez called.

Benitez check-called a bet of 2,800 on {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and the {9-Hearts} hit the turn. That card would proof to a big one, as the money was soon going in. Benitez check-raised Alkalay's 6,300 bet to 13,600 and called the shove for 34,850 total.

Adi Alkalay: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Francisco Benitez: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}

The river {6-Spades} paired the board, giving Alkalay the winning full house. Benitez parted ways with a large portion of his stack.
