Karamas Doesn't Give Up

Benjamin Benoit opened to 12,000 from the hijack, Peter Karamas three-bet to 28,500 from the cutoff and Benoit called. On the 
flop, Benoit checked, Kamaras bet 29,500 and Benoit check-raised to 74.000.
Kamaras spent two minutes thinking before shoving 250,000 total. Benoit grimaced and mucked his hand within seconds, allowing the Day 1 chipleader to scoop up the pot.
