David Benefield Eliminated in 6th Place ($135,718)

David Benefield - 6th Place
David Benefield - 6th Place

David Benefield moved all in for his last 565,000 and Sam Trickett made the call on the button. Peter Gilmore thought long and hard in the big blind before also making the call.

The crowd roared in anticipation as the flop landed {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Both live players checked and then again on the {5-Spades} turn and {K-Diamonds} river.

At showdown Trickett showed {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} which was the best hand as Gilmore flashed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Benefield {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Benefield is sent to the rail in 6th place for a nice collect of $135,718.

DeWitt Makes A Stand

From under the gun, Jason DeWitt raised to 140,000 before Jeff Williams put in his customary three-bet from the small blind to 345,000. DeWitt tanked for a long time before deciding to move all in for his last 1.4 million. Williams insta-folded and DeWitt takes a nice pot without showdown.

Williams On The Back Foot

Jeff Williams has been three-betting like a madman all day today, but he just copped some of his own medicine. After opening to 140,000, Sam Trickett re-raised to 350,000 and Williams decided to give it up.

Williams has now relinquished the chip lead to the young Brit who has played exceptionally well on this final table.

Benefield's River Bluff Backfires

Peter Gilmore, David Benefield and the two blinds saw a cheap flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Action checked to Gilmore who bet 80,000. Benefield made the call as the blinds stepped aside.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and it went check, check, before Gilmore fired 125,000 on the {10-Spades} river. Benefield wasn't done just yet as he raised it up to 360,000. Gilmore cut down the calling chips and tossed them into the pot, much to the disappointment of Benefield who tossed his cards straight into the muck in resignation.

Gilmore didn't have to show, but he flashed {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for top pair. He's up to 1.975 million with Benefield in trouble on 565,000.

Another Mini-Battle

In a another mini-battle of the blinds Jeff Williams and David Benefield collided. It was a limped pot and both players checked to the river on a board of {K-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Benefield tossed out 60,000 and Williams looked him up.

Benefield showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for two pair which is good to collect the pot.

Blind Battle Win For DeWitt

Sam Trickett limped in from the small blind before Jason DeWitt popped it up to 230,000 from the big blind. Trickett made the call and they went heads-up to a flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{K-Spades}.

Trickett checked and DeWitt fired 230,000 to take it down.

Trickett - 3.57 million
DeWitt - 1.57 million
