Brutal Beat for Alaei

Sometimes there's not much you can do to avoid calamity at the poker table. David Benyamine and Daniel Alaei got it all in pre-draw, with Benyamine the at-risk player in for about 20,000 chips. Both players stood pat. Alaei had a great hand -- 8-7-5-3-2 -- but Benyamine was one pip better with 8-7-4-3-2. He doubled to about 41,000 while Alaei fell to 15,000.
