After some raising and reraising between Andrew Feldman and David Benyamine, Feldman made it $44,300 to see the flop. Benyamine called. The flop was . Feldman checked. Slowly, Benyamine counted out a bet of $39,000. And Feldman angrily threw his cards toward the dealer.
Tom Dwan and Sam Trickett are waiting to order food, and they're starting to get impatient. Sam said he's leaving if he doesn't get food soon, and Dwan said he will refuse to rebuy til he's eaten. "I'll sit here and grind a $1,700 stack. That's my penalty."
Finally, Patrik Antonius has a taker for prop betting flops. Sam Trickett tried to negotiate down to $10k a pop, but Antonius said he wouldn't agree to anything less than $25k. Trickett agreed and took hearts and diamonds, leaving Antonius with spades and clubs. If a flop comes out with three of their suit, they get $25,000. Be warned, Sam. Antonius runs really well at these.

Seat 5: Sam Trickett
Seat 6: David Benyamine

Seat 8: David Oppenheim
James Bord won a small pot on a flop. But he was so focused on the hand that he forgot to pay attention to the props. Apparently he and Tom Dwan had agreed on a bet right before the hand, and he missed the fact that his cards hit on the very first hand. The mistake cost Bord $7,000. Of course, Dwan pointed this out as soon as the board hit the muck. Bord jokingly stormed off but presumably will be back after quick bathroom break.
Sam Trickett just bet $54,000 on the river of a board reading . David Benyamine called easily. "Ace-queen?" Trickett asked. Benyamine actually had , good enough to win the pot. Trickett is still asking Benyamine if he folds for different amounts, but it sounds like the Frenchman was never going anywhere.
We caught the action of this big hand on the river. The wheelalicious, then double-paired board read . Patrik Antonius bet $60,000. His only opponent, David Oppenheim, calmly moved all in for another $76,200. Antonius didn't look thrilled about it, but he announced a call.
"Quads," Oppenheim said instantly. His was sweet enough to bag a $370,000 pot.
Sam Trickett opened with a raise, and David Benyamine called. Then on the button David Oppenheim reraised to $14,000. Trickett called, and with a shrug, so did Benyamine. "If you can flop it, I can flop it," he said to Sam.
Flop: - Trickett and Benyamine checked to Oppenheim, who bet $24,000. Only Trickett called.
Turn: - Trickett checked again, then thoughtfully called a bet of $52,000.
River: - One more check, and this time Oppenheim fired $81,000. Trickett tanked for four minutes before quietly calling. Oppenheim showed for top boat. He's on quite the roll. This $350,000 pot is on the heels of a small win and an even bigger pot.
