Benyamine Getting Crafty With Qualifier

[user72279]

Switching things up a bit, David Benyamine decided to limp the button with {k-Spades}

{k-Spades}

{j-Spades}

and Safina checked his option with {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

. The

{k-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

flop brought both players top pair, and it looked like Benyamine's sneaky limp may have worked.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}

{q-Clubs}

and Safina checked, and Benyamine bet 22,000. Safina then raised it up to 60,000 and Benyamine made the call. The river missed both players, and Safina checked to Benyamine, who bet 50,000. Safina went into the tank before correctly making the fold.

David Benyamine is now on 275,000, while Safina dips to 300,000.
