Benefield Eliminates a Player

We caught this hand in progress when David Benefield had bed out on a flop of {10-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}. He got re-raised to 9,000 by Steve Landfish. Benefield re-raised to 18,000 and Landfish shoved. Benefield made the call and the hands were shown.

Benefield: {J-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Landfish: {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

When the board completed {8-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, Benefield's straight held up and he collected 64,000 additional chips, bringing his stack to nearly 130,000.
