Fosco and the Mighty Nine-Deuce
Livello 23
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
The table folded around to the blinds, and Mike Fosco open-shoved for 188,000 with the mighty 
. In the big, Dylan Wilkerson figured 
was good enough to call with, and it was bad news for Fosco's dominated hand.

and Young could not improve. With that pot, Benvenuti is now in possession of 780,000 chips.
board, Narendra Banwari bet 47,000 into a pot already worth at least 100,000. In position, Kevin Eyster made the call. The river was the 
and had no choice but to hit the rail.
