Defending Champion Busts Before Money
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Under the gun, Dennis Weiss checked the 7♥8♦7♣ flop to David Benyamine in the next seat over. Benyamine bet 36,000, which Manuel Fischer called on the button.
Weiss then put in his stack of roughly 200,000, folding out Benyamine. Fischer snap-called, and the players revealed their holdings.
Dennis Weiss: A♦7♠5♦4♠
Manuel Fischer: A♥8♠7♦4♥
Fischer had flopped a full house, leaving Weiss drawing to a chop. Neither the 10♦ turn nor the K♠ river brought an ace, sending Weiss out about a dozen spots away from the money.
