Benoit Knocks Out Sinclair

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jack Sinclair
Jack Sinclair

Benjamin Benoit and Jack Sinclair were seated next to each other today and had already clashed in multiple pots. Their latest and final confrontation left the Brit empty-handed and moved Benoit up to the 100k mark.

In a button against small blind confrontation, Benoit (SB) bet 3,100 on an {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. Sinclair raised to 9,000, Benoit three-bet to 26,100, Sinclair shoved all in and Benoit called to create a pot of over 90k. Benoit had Sinclair barely covered.

Jack Sinclair: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Benjamin Benoit: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The two hands were nearly identical in equity, with Benoit as a small mathematical favorite. Sinclair held the lead on the flop but needed to dodge a plethora of bad cards. The {3-Hearts} on the turn improved the Frenchman to a flush and the {K-Hearts} on the river ended it for Sinclair.
