Benefield Finds His Double

From the small blind, David Benefield limped into the pot, and Jeff Williams moved all in from the big. Benefield loved that, and he snap-called to put his tournament life on the line. He was in rather good shape, however:

Benefield: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} (sneaky)
Williams: {4-Spades} {4-Hearts} (standard)

There was no help for Williams on board, and Benefield will be sticking around thanks to the dealer running out {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} for the community cards. That gives Mr. Benefield the double up to 1.83 million, while Williams slides back a bit to 3.6 million
