Benakis Busts Again
Level 2
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
It has been a disastrous start to the day for Pavlos Benakis, who has just dusted off a second bullet in Day 1g in less than five minutes.
A pot of 18,000 had developed by the turn, on a board of 4♣3♠2♥2♦, in a battle of the blinds between Patrick Murphy and Benakis.
Murphy fired out a bet of 14,000, and Benakis called.
The 2♠ river completed the board, and Murphy jammed for 38,500, just covering Benakis.
Benakis sighed and looked to the heavens, almost as if he knew he was about to be coolered. He flicked in a calling chip, and tabled J♣J♥ for the full house.
Murphy had A♥A♠ for the better one, and Benakis was left to wonder what he had done to upset the poker gods as he exited the tournament room.
