A Double for Raptor

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

A short-stacked David "Raptor" Benefield moved all in for 153,000 from early position and Justin Oliver called. The rest of the field folded and the cards were turned up.

Benefield: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Oliver: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Benefield was behind and in need of some help, and he got a little on the {j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, which gave him an open-ended straight draw. The {K-Clubs} turn actually gave him the lead with kings, and although the {A-Spades} river gave Oliver two pair, it gave Benefield the aforementioned straight.
