Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

After just doubling up, David Benefield has tried to put those newly-found chips to work, but found resistance from Brian Lemke.

Lemke raised to 42,000 from the button and Benefield made the call in the small blind.

They saw a flop of {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

and Benefield led out with a bet of 57,000, and Lemke made the call. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

and Benefield checked to Lemke, who fired 100,000 into the middle. Benefield only had about 360,000 behind and deliberated for a long time before releasing as Lemke flashed {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{3-Spades}

for the semi-bluff to move up to over 1 million in chips.
