Roberto Bendeck

Roberto Bendeck played a patient game, doubled up once as the heads-up short stack, and then did it again. Shortly after his first double, he took the lead when his 3c3s held against Yunis’ Ah7c.

Yunis dropped to 1,100,000 and moved all in from the button to get a quick call from Bendeck.

Yunis: KdJd
Bendeck: AcKs

A tough spot for Yunis with his suited face cards outkicked. The board ran 8d4h3hTc5h and Bendeck never had a sweat as he earned his first career WSOP Circuit ring.

1st: Roberto Bendeck – $21,749 + Gold ring
2nd: Nick Yunis – $13,438
