Benefield Pushes Jett Around

David Benefield
David Benefield
It was a raised pot between Chip Jett and David Benefield when the flop came down {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs}. Jett was first to act and checked to Benefield, who fired out a bet of 55,000. Jett thought it over for a little bit, then check-raised to 240,000.

Jett's raise put Benefield into the tank for a couple of minutes. He finally announced, "All in," and used both hands to push his whole stack out on the felt in front of him. Jett folded fairly quickly thereafter. Benefield took one more peek at his cards, then flashed the {9-Clubs}.

Jett retained 400,000 chips after the hand. Benefield is up to 1.22 million.
