Benyamine Busto!

[user76023]

While watching the table of Howard Lederer, Erica Schoenberg and Chris Moorman, Gallic giant David Benyamine came by at the rail and made a 'cut throat' gesture to his fiancee. "Kings against aces," were the Frenchman's words, though it appeared it was more than just a simple all-in preflop jobbie.

Sometimes two players at a table clash right from the start, and it was so with David Benyamine and Andy Bloch. Right at the start, the first chip fluctuations saw Bloch up by about 6,000, around what Benyamine was missing from his stack. After a preflop raise/reraise, it appeared that Benyamine had bet 2,800 on a flop of {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} only to find Bloch setting out enough chips to put him all in. He went into the tank for ages, really thinking, getting the call pulled, counting the stacks, breathing a sigh and eventually calling all in with {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}. He was up against Bloch's {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} though and was on the rail soon after.
