Benefield Gives Up Some Chips

We saw a three-way unraised pot after David Benefield limped from the button and Brian Lempke limped from the small blind.

Action checked to Benefield on a flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and he bet 12,000. Lemke called and Steve Kopp folded. We went heads up to the turn where Lemke check-called another 32,000 on the {7-Diamonds}. Both players checked the {10-Clubs} on the river and Benefield mucked when Lemke turned over {K-?} {Q-?} for top pair.

Lemke now has 413,000 while Benefield is down to 104,000.
