Benyamine's Big Start

Everything happened so quickly that we missed it, but Steve Brecher and Barry Greenstein were happy to fill us in after the fact (with no help from Melanie Weisner, we might add).

It was a small pot preflop, and Benyamine and Saar Wilf saw a flop of {10-} {8-} {6-} with two hearts. Wilf called a bet there, and the offsuit {4-Clubs} landed on fourth street. Benyamine bet again, Wilf raised, Benyamine re-raised, and all the money got in there. Wilf had flopped a set of tens, but Benyamine's {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} had turned the go-ahead straight.

A blank on the river locked up the pot and the knockout for Benyamine, and he's the big stack with 65,000 here in the early going.
