Benyamine K.O.'s the Bear

Friends and regulars in the big game, Barry Greenstein and David Benyamine got it all in pre-flop; Greenstein with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Benyamine with pocket tens.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} bringing no help to Greenstein, who reached for his book ("Ace on the River") and pen, ready to sign and hand it over, essentially conceding defeat to his opponent - a Barry Greenstein tradition.

The turn and river filled out {8-Spades}, {K-Clubs} and Benyamine's tens held up to take down the match, eliminating Greenstein from the competition.
