Benyamine's Huge Rush

[user67765]

It's tough to stop a guy who is a seasoned professional, relentlessly aggressive and catches cards. David Benyamine has just gone on a hellacious rush to surge to a massive chip lead.

In the first hand he caught Greg Jamison bluffing on a board of {Q-Hearts}

. Jamison mucked his cards as Benyamine showed {8-Diamonds}

.

Next hand the action was checked to the river in a battle of the blinds with Toto Leonidas. Benyamine caught a set of deuces on the river and Leonidas called the value bet.

Finally Jason Gray tried to make a stand against Benyamine's aggression. Benyamine raised from the button and Gray called from the big blind.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}

and Gray led out with a bet and Benyamine called. The turn was the {A-Diamonds}

and again Gray bet and Benyamine called. The river was the {4-Spades}

and Gray checked, Benyamine bet and Gray called.

Benyamine said "No low" as he showed {4-Diamonds}

for quads! Gray threw his cards into the muck in disgust as Benyamine storms to a massive chip lead. He now has more than half of the chips in play with about 2.8 million!
