Good2cu Says CYa to Benyamine

David Benyamine - French fried
David Benyamine - French fried

Andrew Robl and David Benyamine were all in preflop and stuck waiting for Leeann Tweeden to finish filming her interview with Erik Seidel and Vanessa Selbst. Robl and Benyamine looked pretty calm, while their rails needed a few deep breaths.

Robl had a slight lead in the match and big lead in the hand. His {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} needed to hold against Benyamine's {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for him to advance to the semifinals. The {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop stole an out from Benyamine. The {4-Diamonds} turn gave him hope for a chop. But the {8-Hearts} on the river made Robl the nuts, locking up his spot in the round of four. Benyamine takes home $75,000.
