Frank Gets Paid by Benyamine

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Christopher Frank and David Benyamine saw a flop of 694 when Frank bet 10,000 from the cutoff. Benyamine called in the hijack.

Both players checked the Q turn. Frank then bet 26,000 on the 2 river, and Benyamine called.

Frank showed only 96 for two pair, and that was enough to win the pot.

Gryko the British Kornuth?

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

"Richard, you're like the British Chance. Same hair, same eyes. Equally shit at poker," Youness Barakat shouted out at Richard Gryko from another table.

"Either turn up the volume or turn it down," Gryko yelled back.

"He doesn't even have eyebrows," Chance Kornuth added.

Meanwhile, Gryko had opened to 5,500 in the cutoff and Tom Vogelsang potted to 17,500 in the big blind. Gryko called to see the Q83 flop.

Vogelsang checked to Gryko, who bet 20,000. Vogelsang called, and they both checked down the 8 turn and 6 river. Gryko showed KKQ4, and Vogelsang mucked.

The 9 landed on the river. Guerra checked and called a bet of 17,500 from Cowen, but mucked when Cowen tabled a full house with AK85 to claim the pot.
