Benyamine Plays It Safe
Level 6
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
David Benyamine was in the big blind and checked a 
flop, calling 4,500 from Brian Rast under the gun. Benyamine check-called 15,600 on the 
turn and checked the 
river. Rast bet 33,000 and Benyamine thought awhile and called.
Rast tabled 
for a flopped straight but was no good as Benyamine held 
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.
