Benyamine Dodges a Draw

No-Limit Hold'em:

Fresh off his recent bracelet win, David Benyamine is looking to get things going in this event as well.

Benyamine raised to 250 and the big blind called. The flop came {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} and the big blind checked. Benyamine bet 250 and his opponent raised to 1,000. Beyamine moved all in and his opponent called.

Benyamine held top pair with {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} and his opponent held an open-ended straight draw with the {6-Spades} {4-Spades}.

The turn paired the board with the {3-Hearts} and then the river came the {Q-Diamonds}, allowing Benyamine to double up to 5,500.
