Benyamine Makes a Great Call

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

David Chiu raised from under the gun and David Benyamine defended his big blind with a call. These two players have been playing together all day, but not at the same table. When their first table broke, both bracelet winners drew seats right next to each other at their new table.

Together, they saw the {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop heads up and both players checked. The {4-Spades} hit the turn and Benyamine bet before Chiu came in with a raise. Benyamine called and the river was the {q-Clubs}. When checked to him, Chiu bet and after a moments thought, Benyamine called with {a-}{6-}. Amazingly the Ace-high beat the {k-}{8-} for King-high of Chiu.

Benyamine is now up to 12,000 while Chiu is still one of the biggest stacks in the room with 37,000.
