Benyamine Dispatches Bronshtein

"He was short," we heard David Benyamine telling Daniel Negreanu as Yuval Bronshtein walked away from the table. We made out way over to discovered that Benyamine held {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} on a {J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} board, and while the dealer had already mucked Bronshtein's hand, we do know that the Frenchman's hand was good enough to score the knockout and chip him up to 20,000.

Meanwhile, W.J. Vincent has been eliminated from the tournament.

Shak Awards Merson Some Fame

With all the ESPN WSOP Main Event footage being shown lately Greg Merson hasn't had anything to complain about getting media attention. The October Nine finalist is sitting at the table right in front of the PokerNews desk, and Dan Shak just hinted towards some possible action at the table.

Shak thought he was going to get involved himself, but things panned out a bit different. Dominik Nitsche had raised under the gun to 300, after which Merson three-bet to 1,150. The other players, including Shak, folded and Nitsche made the call.

The flop showed {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Nitsche checked. Merson moved all in for 1,950 and the German bracelet winner called.

Showdown:
Dominik Nitsche: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Greg Merson: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The turn was the {4-Spades}, and the river the {8-Diamonds} giving Merson a double up.

Dropping Like Flies!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie

With 750 in the pot and a flop of {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Joe Hachem led out for 600 from the small blind only to have Micah Smith raise to 2,500 from the big, leaving himself just 800 behind. Rocco Palumbo folded from under the gun and Hachem splashed out a raise. Smith called off and the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Hachem: {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Smith: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Hachem was ahead with two pair, but that wouldn't hold as the {8-Clubs} hit the turn followed by the {2-Hearts} river. Smith completed his flush draw for the double while Hachem took a small hit down to 11,000.

Kassela Out

On a {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} flop Frank Kassela bet 525 and his opponent check-called. The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and Kassela was put all in by his opponent for about 1,000.

Kassela called with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}, but was up against {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Kassela did not catch a king or a queen on the river, and he was eliminated.

The Recently Departed

Behbehani Falls To Ramdin

We caught the action on the flop that read {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Salman Behbehani got his small stack all in against Victor Ramdin. This pot also meant, a close to certain, elimination for Ramdin who barely had his opponent covered.

Showdown:
Victor Ramdin: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Salman Behbehani: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The turn was the {10-Spades} giving Ramdin a full house, and Behbehani could not come back. The {4-Diamonds} completed the board, and Ramdin took down the pot.
