Benyamine Doubles; Pulls Even with Hansen

[user38449]

David Benyamine has just doubled through heads-up opponent Gus Hansen to bring their match back to even.

The two exchanged raises before the flop and Gus opted to move all in dark, before the dealer spread a {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{6-Spades}

flop. David made the call and tabled the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

, revealing a flush draw and two over cards; Hansen flipped over {A-?}

{A-?}

{10-?}

offsuit.

The {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

fell on the turn -- a solid card for Hansen, who needed to dodge a king, a queen or any spade on the river to eliminate Benyamine. 5th Street fell in favor of the Frenchman, however, as the dealer tabled the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

, giving Benyamine a flush to stay alive.
