Levigne Eliminated by Benoit

Norbert Levigne's tournament has come to an end. He fell at the hands of Mendel Benoit who was able to get three streets of value from a flopped Broadway straight.

The flop was {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Levigne check-called a bet of 4,800 from Benoit before the dealer placed the {8-Hearts} on the turn. Levigne checked again. This time, Benoit upped his bet to 8,700. Levigne called.

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Levigne checked once more, with only 20,000 chips behind. Benoit fired 25,000, enough to put Levigne all in. Levigne took a minute and then made the call.

Benoit tabled the {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the straight. Levigne mucked his hand and headed for the door.
