Hand #12: Benefield Finds Spades; Doubles

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

David "Raptor" Benefield had the button, and the action folded to him. He moved all in for 4.375 million, Jay Farber quickly folded, and Sylvain Loosli sat quietly for a minute or so before calling.

Benefield: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Loosli: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}, giving Benefield a flush draw, and the crowd went bonkers. The cheers in the Penn & Teller Theatre died down just in time for the dealer to burn a second card and deliver the turn, and when the {2-Spades} spiked on the felt, Benefield's rail lost it. The {2-Diamonds} bricked off on the river, and Benefield doubled to 9.4 million chips.
