Mark BenasaMark Benasa

No shortage of action at the final table as another big pot is claimed and another player departs. This time, Sunny Jung raises it up and is called by Tom Alner. However, Benasa follows it up with an all-in for 310,000, yet it doesn’t end there… Linh Tran on the big blind announces he is all-in as well. Jung and Alner decide it’s not worth getting in the thick of it and fold their hands. Here’s the showdown:

Tran: 9 9
Benasa: J J

Flop: Q K 4
Turn: 4

And on the river of 9, the surprise can be felt at the table as Benasa is out on a bad beat. He departs in 9th and earns PHP 304,000 in winnings.
