Benyamine Eliminated with Cracked Aces

We have a new chip leader, courtesy of the elimination of one member of the old guard. We didn't see the preflop action, but it appears that David Benyamine may have made a small raise from the big blind that was called only by Darvin Moon in the small blind.

We picked up the action on the {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} flop, where Moon led into Benyamine with a bet. Benyamine raised; Moon reraised an additional 200,000 above Benyamine's raise. That put the action back to Benyamine, who put in another raise of an additional 300,000 chips. Finally Moon just called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}. Benyamine had 800,000 chips behind. Moon elected to put him all in. Benyamine called with the best starting hand {A-Hearts} {A-?} but he had been outflopped by Moon's {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds}, a set of treys. The river bricked {Q-Clubs} to end Benyamine's run.

Moon is the new chip leader with roughly 5.7 million chips.
