Another Small Skirmish

Shamus

Johnny Chan completed from the small blind, David Benyamine raised to 90,000 in the big blind, and Chan called.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, and both checked. The turn was the {5-Clubs}. Chan checked, Benyamine bet 100,000, and Chan folded.

Benyamine has 705,000, and Chan 2,030,000. Phil Galfond remains chip leader with 2.3 million.

Adam "The_Houdini" Hourani completed the small blind and Johnny Chan checked his option. The flop was {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. Hourani checked and Chan checked behind. The turn was the {7-Hearts}. Hourani checked, Chan bet 40,000, Hourani raised to 125,000 and Chan made the call. The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and both players checked.

Hourani showed sevens full of queens and won the pot.

Erica Schoenberg just arrived at the final table (dressed in a lovely green polo BTW) to sweat her fiancé David Benyamine. Recent bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst also just took a seat, accompanied by two friends, to check out this star-studded lineup.

Check-Raisin' Chan

The table folded to Johnny Chan who completed in the small blind, and David Benyamine checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}. Chan bet 50,000, and Benyamine called. The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Chan checked, Benyamine bet 75,000, and Chan check-raised pot to 385,000.

Benyamine thought a bit, looked up at Chan, and let it go.
