Fausto Tersigni (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

Steven Bennett opened the action at Table 9 with a raise to 2,700, with Tom Cuce flatting from the cutoff.  Fausto Tersigni was next to act, and he would three-bet from the button to 6,000.  After the blinds folded, action would be back on Bennett, who took a few moments before pushing his stack across his cards.  Bennett's all-in was for about 40,000, which was an amount that both of his opponents had covered.  Cuce mucked his hand, and Tersigni would follow by casually tossing a single chip towards the pot.

Steven Bennett seemed to know his fate, as he turned over J♠ J♣, only to see Fausto table A♥ A♦.  The board would run out 8♥ 6♣ 8♣ K♠ 8♦, and Bennett would be eliminated from Flight 1A.  Tersigni became the flight's chip leader with that pot, and sits with over 120,000.
