Benyamine in the Danger Zone

Level 24

Pot-Limit Omaha

Don Nguyen raised to 135,000 from the cutoff and David Benyamine defended the big. Benyamine then check-called a bet of 85,000 on the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop before both players checked the {4-Clubs} turn. When the {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Benyamine bet 210,000 only to have Nguyen raise to 1.005 million. Benyamine hit the tank for a bit before calling, but mucked when Nguyen rolled over the [1010djh8h] for a rivered full house.
