Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 6th Place - Benitez ($8,764)

Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000


Kevin Benitez (Hillburn, NY)
6th Place - $8,764

Jeff Wicker opened the pot for 120,000, and was three-bet by Kevin Benitez (small blind) to 330,000.  Wicker called and they would go to the flop:

Flop: 9♣ 5♠ 4

Benitez bet out 375,000 and Wicker made the call.

Turn: 5

Benitez now took some time before betting out 600,000, and the tank from Wicker afterwards almost seemed painful.  He looked at his cards, cut his chips, and went through that motion a few times before finally deciding to make the call.

River: J♠

Benitez waiting about 15-20 seconds before pushing the rest of his chips in (1,200,000), and it took no time for Wicker to call this time.  Benitez looked at him and sheepishly asked, "Jacks?"  Wicker nodded yes and showed the rivered full house.  Kevin showed his A A and took the beat with class, taking home $8,764 for sixth place.
