Level 10 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

There was light drama at Table 94 as Manuel Pochat moved all in for 255,000 from early position before James Caputo, without seeing there had been a raise, tried to open to 65,000. David Benyamine then called behind him before they were alerted of the previous action.

Caputo opted to fold and surrender his 65,000 while Benyamine groaned about his predicament.

"I was not even in this hand," Benyamine said before reluctantly calling.

Manuel Pochat: A♠J♠ All in
David Benyamine: A♥7♥

Though he didn't even want a part in the hand, the flop landed 5♥K♥10♥ to give Benyamine the nut flush before the board finished out 4♣2♣ to send his opponent to the rail.

"Oh my god. That's insane," he said before pointing to Caputo. "He made me win the hand!"
