Benyamine Starts Off Strong

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Action is starting to pick up now that players are slowing making their way to the tables. Most tables now have four to five players seated. We caught David Benyamine in a hand when he opened up the action with a raise to 125 preflop. The player on the button reraised to 375 and Benyamine called.

The flop ran out {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Benyamine checked, and his opponent bet 450. Benyamine made the call. The {a-Clubs} fell on the turn and both players checked.

The river brought the {4-Hearts} and Benyamine bet 1,750 and his opponent called. Benyamine turned over {a-Spades}{6-Spades} to take down the pot.
