The Action Game

A big hand from right before the break:

After several limped, including Hoyt Corkins, David Benyamine raised, then Rafi Amit reraised the pot. Corkins, having only 8,800 when the hand began, called, as did one other player. Then Benyamine responded with another pot-sized reraise, and Amit and the other player called as well.

To sum up: We had a four-way all in, with Benyamine having the other three covered. The hands:

Benyamine: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Amit: {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Corkins: {J-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Fourth player: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. That trey on the river gave Amit a wheel and the main pot. Benyamine took the side pot. Corkins and the other player were eliminated.

Amit more than tripled up that hand, ending with around 185,000, and Benyamine has 112,000.
