Smith Gets Stack Halved by Benyamine

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dylan Smith
Dylan Smith

David Benyamine limped under the gun, and Scott Eskenazi followed suit in middle position. Dylan Smith then raised to 11,000 on the button, which only Benyamine called.

Smith bet 7,000 on the 7K4 flop and 10,000 on the 8 turn. Benyamine check-called both times, after which the 10 river completed the board.

Benyamine checked again, seeing Smith pile in his remaining stack of 55,500. Benyamine spent a minute or so in the tank before he called.

Smith showed AQ552 for a naked nut low. Benyamine had the same low with A10982, but his two pair awarded him the high half of the pot as well.

Deutsch Felts Ivanov

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Stanislav Ivanov raised to 7,000 from middle position, with Stephen Deutsch calling from the hijack and Cary Katz defending the big blind.

When it checked to Deutsch on the Q6Q flop, he bet 5,000. Katz folded, but Ivanov check-jammed for around 12,000. Deutsch quickly called.

Stanislav Ivanov: AA986 All in
Stephen Deutsch: AQ1032

Deutsch had trips against Ivanov's flush draw.

Ivanov spiked a flush on the 3 turn, but the 10 river gave Deutsch a boat, and Ivanov was out.

More for Harman

Krupin slowed down and checked. Harman fired a bet of 25,000 into the pot, and Krupin quickly let his cards go to concede the pot.

James Binks an Online Tournament While Playing The Big O Championship

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Bobby James
Bobby James

Four ways to the Q3J flop, Senovio Ramirez checked from the small blind, the big blind checked, Bobby James knuckled it over in the cutoff, and James Schafer checked the button.

The turn came the 6 and when it checked to James, he decided it was time to take a stab at the pot with a bet of 4,000. The move worked to perfection as all three of his opponents quickly folded.

James was in higher spirits than usual and was keen to tell PokerNews that he had just shipped an online ring event for around $40,000 whilst seated at this tournament.

Valeo bet the pot of 28,500 on the 398 flop, and piled in 85,500 on the K turn once Eveslage had called.

Eveslage took some time to think things through, but decided to fold and not contest the pot any further.
