Benyamine and Madsen Survive With Kings
In a pot of around 90,000, button David Benyamine got his last 102,000 in on the 2♠3♥J♣ flop against Stephen Hubbard in the big blind.
David Benyamine: A♣K♣K♦10♠
Stephen Hubbard: J♠9♠6♣2♥
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 2♠8♣2♦ flop, quickly forcing Sankari out of the pot.
Jeff Madsen: K♥K♦Q♦4♥
Ky Nguyen: A♠A♦A♣5♣
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.
