Benzimra The Ever Living

Christophe Benzimra
Christophe Benzimra

A catastrophic hand for Christophe Benzimra's stack just saw Patrick Bruel flop a full house with {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} as the cards came {K-Hearts} {5-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. Despite the fact that Benzimra held {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs} the big hit came after the turn and river - {Q-Diamonds} and {8-Clubs} - had fallen with caginess all round. At this point Bruel raised a huge tower of pink 5k chips (150k) which may have been intended to set his opponent in, however it left him with 45k when he just called and a chance at rebuilding.

Benzimra then opened shoved for his last 50k or so with {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and was called by Patrick Bruel in the big blind who had {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. The board rolled out {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Benzimra now has a little bit of breath back with just over 100,000 in chips.
