Benyamine and Madsen Survive With Kings

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a pot of around 90,000, button David Benyamine got his last 102,000 in on the 23J flop against Stephen Hubbard in the big blind.

David Benyamine: AKK10 All in
Stephen Hubbard: J962

Hubbard's two pair were counterfeit on the 3 turn, and the 3 river upgraded Benyamine to a full house to secure a double-up.

Over at another table, Jeff Madsen limped in under the gun. Antoine Sankari then raised to 45,000 in the cutoff, and Ky Nguyen fired a three-bet to 160,000 on the button.

Madsen then called all in for 139,000, and Sankari tossed in calling chips as well after some thought. Nguyen placed a continuation-bet on the 282 flop, quickly forcing Sankari out of the pot.

Jeff Madsen: KKQ4 All in
Ky Nguyen: AAA5

Madsen was in dire shape against the aces of Nguyen, but he spiked a full house on the K turn to leave his opponent with one out. The final ace did not appear on the 2 river, cementing Madsen's triple-up.
