No-Limit Hold'em

David Benyamine was in the big blind and checked a {q-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop, calling 4,500 from Brian Rast under the gun. Benyamine check-called 15,600 on the {6-Hearts} turn and checked the {k-Clubs} river. Rast bet 33,000 and Benyamine thought awhile and called.

Rast tabled {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped straight but was no good as Benyamine held {k-Hearts}{j-} for a boat. Benyamine's tablemates couldn't resist ribbing a little in the aftermath.

"Is that a penalty?" Randy Ohel asked.

"It should be," Andrew Brown said with a laugh.
