Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a hand that started at the end of the last level, Amit Ben Yacov limped the cutoff and Kabeelan Rajamurthy did so on the button. David Benyamine raised to 250,000 in the small blind and picked up two calls.

On the K♦5♦4♦ flop, Benyamine led for just 150,000 and Ben Yacov called, Rajamurthy folded.

They headed to the Q♠ turn on which Benyamine checked and then called for 350,000 when Ben Yacov bet.

Once the 5♣ river paired the board, Benyamine pushed all-in. Ben Yacov went deep into the tank for six minutes. He eventually showed all his four cards before folding, it was the Q♣Q♦3♦3x.

"Can I show you only one card?" Benyamine said and flashed the K♥. He then also exposed the 9♠ as well and the A♠ a few moments later.

"Please don't make me show everyone this card," he said while pointing at the last card. It was never shown but the table talked about the hand for a while, trying to figure out if it was a huge bluff or not.

Adam Lamphere raised the pot from under the gun to 210,000 with 90,000 behind. Vasil Medarov then reraised all-in for more than two times as much and Elie Nakache on the button went over the top. Lamphere called all-in and it was yet another three-way showdown.

Adam Lamphere: J♥J♦4♦3♥ All in
Vasil Medarov: A♥Q♦J♠4♠ All in
Elie Nakache: A♠A♣K♥6♥

The aces took it all on a board of 10♣9♦9♣2♠2♣ to send both shorter stacks to the rail, as Lamphere and Medarov both collected $51,641 for their efforts.
