Charlemagne Benjamin limped in from the cutoff, Peter Petakus followed suit from the button, Roberto Bendeck completed his small blind, and Nashaat Antonious checked his option.

The flop came down KdKhQc and Bendeck checked to Antonious who bet 100,000. Only Bendeck called to see the 3d turn, which he checked. Antonious bet 150,000, Bendeck check-raised to 425,000, and Antonious called. The river was the Jh and Bendeck shoved for effectively 750,000. Antonious called after about 5 seconds.

Bendeck tabled Kc6s for trip kings, besting Antonious’ QsJc to win the pot and eliminate Antonious in sixth place.

Roberto Bendeck – 2,900,000 (72 bb)
