David Benyamine
David Benyamine

Wim Ben Verhaegen opened with a raise to 9,000 from middle position. Action folded to David Benyamine who re-raised to 22,000, Verhaegen called.

Benyamine bet out 22,000 after the flop of {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Spades}, Verhaegen called.

The turn came the {9-Diamonds} and Benyamine check-called the 50,000 bet from Verhaegen.

Benyamine checked his option once again after the {5-Spades} came on the river and Verhaegen moved all in for 127,000. Benyamine tanked while counting out his chips before ultimately making the call only to see the bad news.

Verhaegen tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a flopped full house and raked in the monster pot from Benyamine.

Farid Jattin: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Robinson was in luck as the board ran out {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and he secured the double.
