David Benyamine Wins Big Pot

David Benyamine has just approached the top of chip counts after winning a monster three-way pot.

An unknown player limped under the gun, and David Benyamine raised it up to 3,500. From the big blind, Andy Black made the call. The unknown player then reraised to 10,900. Benyamine made the call, but both players were shocked to see Black raise it to 43,000! The unknown player called all in for his remaining chips, and Benyamine called as well.

The flop came: {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}

Andy Black pushed all in, and was quickly called by David Benyamine.

Black: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}-Xc for the overpair of aces and the flush draw
Benyamine: {10-Spades}{8-Hearts} {9-Hearts}{7-Spades} for the flopped straight
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}-X-X

The {7-Diamonds} turn and {K-Hearts} river did not help Black or the unknown player, who was eliminated.

When all was said and done, Benyamine was up to 232,000 while Black fell to 77,000.
