David Benyamine Wins Heat #3 ($32,000)!

Benyamine Wins!
Benyamine Wins!
David Benyamine came into the third heat sitting in fourth place on the overall leaderboard with eight points. He was tied with Yevgeniy Timoshenko who would also be playing today. When the day was all said and done, Benyamine had successfully moved his way up to second place on that leaderboard.

It didn't look like Benyamine was going to make it to the top three, as he was all in a few times on the short stack, but managed to stay alive thanks to some timely river cards.

From the early goings, it looked like Daniel Negreanu was going to run away with this thing. But, after a couple of blunders within a few moments, Negreanu went from leading the field to out in fifth place. With his elimination, Ian Frazer, Timoshenko, Giovanni Safina and Benyamine all moved up in points and Negreanu left the day with just four points.

Here's how the standings look after the third heat.

1. Phil Laak – 32 points
2. David Benyamine - 24 points
3. JC Tran – 17 points
4. Yevgeniy Timoshenko – 16 points
5. Giovanni Safina - 15 points
6. Roland De Wolfe – 14 points
T-7. Vanessa Rousso – 8 points
T-7. Ian Frazer – 8 points
9. Phil Hellmuth - 6 points
T-10. Luke Schwartz – 4 points
T-10. Daniel Negreanu – 4 points
12. Tony G - 2 points

Phil Laak still leads the way going into the fourth match, but Benyamine made a big jump today with his win. He also added $32,000 to his pocket.

Another heat is set for tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. local time. We'll see you right back here for all the action from The M Resort & Casino for more coverage of the PartyPoker Premier League IV.
