So Long, Sammy

Three players come limping into this particular pot, and David Benyamine raises the action up, making it 1,000 to go. The small blind bumps it up further, re-raising to 3,500. Sammy Farha overcalls the bet from the big blind, and Benyamine makes the call as well.

The flop comes {3-Clubs} {10-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. The small blind bets out all in for 2,300, and Farha makes the call with his last 2,375. David Benyamine makes the call as well, closing the action for the rest of the hand. The turn is the {9-Diamonds} and the river is the {5-Diamonds}. The three men turn over their hands:

Small blind: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts}
Farha: {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}
Benyamine: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}

David Benyamine takes down a mammoth pot, and knocks out two players with his king-high straight. After the hand, he is up to 34,000 and appears to have the largest stack in the room.
