Berman and Benyamine Stuff It into the Middle, Chop

Level 10 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a flop of {2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, Lyle Berman checked from the small blind, letting David Benyamine bet 6,000 from the hijack. John Monnette called on Benyamine's left before Berman potted for 51,000. Benyamine repotted, forcing out Monnette while Berman was ready to go for it.

Benyamine: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Berman: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Both players had a king with the top kicker but either of them could still squeeze a win. However, the {a-Hearts} turn sealed the chop and the {j-Spades} river was meaningless.

"Pleasure doing business," Berman said while pulling back his chips.
