Benyamine Comes Over the Top

Level 3 : 250/500, 125 ante

We caught up with the action after the draw as Ben Lamb placed a bet worth 12,500 into a pot of about 10,000. Lamb was heads up with David Benyamine, and Benyamine, sitting on the button, raised to 37,000.

Lamb took a couple moments before eventually releasing his cards to the muck.

Kassela and Elezra Chop it Up

Level 3 : 250/500, 125 ante

Frank Kassela raised to 1,200 and got calls from Billy Baxter, Eli Elezra, and Max Kruse.

Everyone drew one, apart from Kruse who drew two from the big blind. Elezra bet 3,000. Kruse folded and Kassela and Baxter both called.

Elezra showed {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} and it was met by Kassela also tabling {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}.

"Really?!" said Elezra in disbelief.

"Let's wait and see what Billy's got," said Kassela.

"I ain't got shit," replied the seven-time bracelet winner, and his call was chopped up.
