David Trying to Become Goliath

Daniel Steinberg was heads up with David Benyamine when we walked up to see the dealer spreading a flop of {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} . Steinberg was first, and he put out a bet of 2,200. Benyamine called.

The turn {K-Spades} drew another leading bet, 5,600 this time. Benyamine cut the calling chips out of his stack and put them on top of another 20,000 worth of yellowbirds. It looked like he was about to make it 25,600, but he plucked the 5,600 back off the top and flung it into the pot.

The {5-Clubs} filled out the board, and Steinberg took his pause to think it over. After maybe 90 seconds, he grabbed all 15,100 of his remaining chips and moved all in. Benyamine tanked and called, though he didn't seem all that thrilled when he dropped the chips into the pot.
