No Stud For Benyamine

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante
David Benyamine
David Benyamine

David Benyamine has expressed interest in playing the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event, but has been "unsuccessful" in busting from the $5,000 No-Limit event after being all-in twice in subsequent hands.

In the first hand, Benyamine went all in from early position for 6,800. Both blinds contemplated calling, but landed on folds. Benyamine revealed the {2-Clubs} and said, "I wish someone had called me so I can play the Stud event."

Two hands later, a player in middle position raised to 1,250 and Benyamine shoved his stack in for 8,600. The middle position player called and Benyamine showed the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, which was a coinflip to win against his opponent's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, but the {J-Hearts} on the turn gave Benyamine the lead. A {6-Spades} fell on the river, bringing Benyamine to just under 18,000.
