David Benefield Takes a Big Pot from Alexander Kostritsyn

After David Benefield raised to 26,000 Alexander Kostritsyn made the call from the small blind. The flop came {J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and both players checked, and when the {8-Spades} turned Kostritsyn bet 45,000 and was called.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and Kostritsyn bet 77,000. Benefield made the call and Kostritsyn immediately mucked his cards, conceding the pot to Benefield in a hand that left him with just 100,000. Benefield's stack has now grown to 540,000.
