Break With Five Left
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
From the cutoff, Van Tiep Nguyen raised to 25,000 and Moritz Dietrich carefully studied the stack of fellow short stack Jack Sinclair, then folded with one minute left on the clock for the current level. Benjamin Benoit called out of the small blind and the flop came 
and both players checked, with the 
turn following the same action.
After the 
river, Benoit bet 53,000 and Nguyen called to chop the pot with 
against Benoit's 
.
Right after, the players headed into a 15-minute break.
