Identical Stacks Clash, Cheung Out

Fung Cheung

David Benefield raised under the gun to 32,000 and Marvin Rettenmaier went into the tank. He was seated to Benefield's left and folded after about ten seconds. The action then was folded to Fung Cheung who moved all in from the big blind. Benefield called right away.

Showdown:
David Benefield: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Fung Cheung: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, and Cheung was knocked out. After counting down both stacks it was made clear that both players had identical stacks. They each had 234,000, and Benefield took all of it.
