David Benefield - 73rd Place
Brandon Cantu raised to 100,000 from middle position and David Benefield called. The flop came {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts}, Cantu bet 200,000 and Benefield called. When the {7-Clubs} fell on the turn Cantu checked and Benefield led out for 335,000 and Cantu moved all in. Benefield thought it over for about ten seconds before making the call and turned over {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the straight. Cantu held {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} for the pair and flush draw and on the river Brandon spiked the {6-Clubs} to make the flush and eliminate Benefield.
