Correction to the Benefield-Cantu Hand

In the description of the hand where David Benefield was eliminated there was a substantial error in the betting on the turn. With the board reading {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, Cantu checked, Benefield bet 335,000, Cantu moved all in, and Benefield called. The original post said Benefield moved all in for 335,000 and that was wrong--he bet 335,000, Cantu moved in, and David made the call. Benefield had the straight but Cantu made his flush when the {6-Clubs} fell on the river.

Our apologies for the error. The post in question has been modified and corrected.
