David Benyamine Eliminated

David Benyamine
David Benyamine
Kyle Wilson raises in late position to 4,500 and David Benyamine reraises in the small blind to 15,000. Wilson calls.

The flop comes {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and both players check. The turn brings the {9-Clubs} and Benyamine leads out for 12,000. Wilson raises to 36,000 and Benyamine calls.

The river is the {A-Hearts} and Benyamine checks. Wilson puts out a large bet of 100,000, enough to put Benyamin all in. He makes the call, but after Wilson shows him {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs} for a flush he mucks his cards and leaves the tournament area.

Kyle Wilson - 300,000
David Benyamine - Eliminated

Shuan Deeb and Veldhuis Continue to Battle

Shaun Deeb and Lex "RaSZi" Veldhuis have declared all out war with one another...

From the cut off, Veldhuis raises to 3,600 and Deeb reraises to 12,100 from the small blind. Veldhuis four bets and Deeb moves all in. Veldhuis calls instantly with {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and faces the pocket fours of Deeb.

The board comes {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, giving Veldhuis the pot with a pair of aces. He doubles up and is now at 330,000.

Shaun Deeb takes a hit, but a few hands later he's back up to 120,000.

Sixes Lucky for Lacay

William Molson raised to 3,200 from UTG, and Ludovic Lacay called from middle position. The rest of the table folded. The flop came {2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and both players checked. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}. Molson checked, Lacay bet 6,000, and after some deliberation Molson called.

The river was the {2-Hearts}. Molson again checked, and this time Lacay fired out 31,000. Molson exhaled, riffled his chips, then finally made the call. Lacay turned over {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the boat, and Molson mucked.

Lacay is back up to 130,000, while Molson slips to 110,000.

Phil Laak Doubles Through Steve Sung

Phil Laak opened the action with a raise to 3,200 from early position and got three callers-- Chad Batista, Steve Sung, and Sandor Demjan. All four players checked the {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} flop.

The turn paired the board with the {A-Diamonds}. Demjan and Laak checked over to Batista, who bet 7,400. Sung smooth-called, Demjan folded and Laak raised to 18,500. Batista mucked and Sung called.

The river was the {K-Clubs} and Laak moved all in for his remaining 24,500. After a lengthy think, Sung made the call, mucking his hand once he laid eyes on Laak's {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs} for trips. Laak doubled to 107,000 on the hand while Sung's stack sunk to 56,000.

Passive Play From The Dragon

Corwin Cole raises from under the gun to 3,200 and action folds around to David Pham on the button who reraises to 8,700. The blinds fold and Cole makes the call.

The board comes {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} with both players checking it down the whole way. Cole shows pocket tens, but the Dragon has him beat with pocket queens.

The Dragon takes the pot and is now at 195,000. Cole has his original starting stack of 120,000.

Shaun Deeb Abusing RaSZi

Luke Staudenmaier raises from under the gun to 3,600. Lex "RaSZi" Veldhuis calls from early position as does Shaun Deeb from middle position. The flop comes {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} and action is checked to Deeb who bets 8,200. Staudenmaier gets out of the way and Veldhuis calls. The turn brings the {3-Hearts} and Veldhuis check-calls a 20,500 bet from Deeb.

The river is the {7-Diamonds} and Veldhuis checks for a third time. Deeb fires a final shell at the pot, moving all in for 140,000. Veldhuis tanks for about 90 seconds before mucking his hand.

Deeb seems to be targeting Veldhuis; this is the second time he has moved in on him in the past half hour.

Shaun Deeb - 190,000
Lex "RaSZi" Veldhuis - 142,000
