Benyamine Draws First Blood

[user67765]

Benyamine raised preflop, bet the flop and the action checked down on a board of {4-Spades}

. Benyamine showed Q-Q-4-6 which was good enough to take down the first significant pot of heads up play.

06-22-2008 00:36 UTC-7

Although the chips and cards seem to have been drawn to David Benyamine like a magnet, Greg Jamison has just decided to move away from the eight-seat that was next to Benyamine, to the other end of the table in the two-seat for a more traditional heads up play atmosphere.

Will the change of scene make all the difference?

Benyamine Dominating

[user67765]

In a series of recent pots David Benyamine has been able to dismantle Greg Jamison one pot at a time. Benyamine has chipped away in a series of small pots where he has taken most of them down without a showdown. In the hands that went to showdown Benyamine is showing the goods.

Jamison is down to under 300,000. This one could be all over very shortly.
