David Benyamine

David Benyamine raised from the under the gun and he was called by his neighbor Nathaniel Wachtel and big blind Ryan Paluf.

The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and all three players checked. Benyamine did fire 10,000 on the {4-Hearts} turn after Paluf had checked and Wachtel called quickly. Paluf had just 6,500 behind and it took him about 20 seconds to put them in the middle.

The river was the {k-Spades} and Benyamine bet another 10,000. Wachtel put in a second bet and Benyamine called.

Benyamine showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} to win the low part of the pot and Wachtel won the high part with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Paluf showed only 3 cards {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-} and quickly turned the cards upside down. Wachtel and Benyamine didn't bother to ask what the hand was and the dealer mucked the cards.

There was a board of {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} face up and two players in the pot who each had 13 bets in front of them. One was Patrick Leonard who was the last to bet and the other was Jeff Madsen who was still thinking about his action.

Madsen decided, in the end, to call and tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a flush with the nut low. Leonard looked unpleasantly surprised as he mucked his hand, tabling two aces as the dealer pushed the massive pot to Madsen.
