Benyamine Surrenders on River
David Benyamine raised to 1,200. This minimum raise invited Robert Emmerson to call from the cutoff, Fabian Riebau-Schmithals to call on the button, Esther Taylor to call in the small blind and Isaac Kempton to call from the big blind.
The flop was 9♣7♥2♠ and Taylor checked. Kempton decided to lead out for 3,000. Only Benyamine and Riebau-Schmithals called.
The turn brought the J♣, and now Kempton checked. Benyamine checked as well, but Riebau-Schmithals fired out 12,000. Kempton folded, and Benyamine called.
The river was the 5♥ and Benyamine checked it over again. Riebau-Schmithals bet 25,000 this time, and Benyamine folded rather quickly. Riebau-Schmithals has chipped up fairly nicely here early on, while Benyamine has lost a chunk of his starting stack.
