David Benyamine Eliminated in 8th Place ($130,748)
Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Manh Nguyen raised to 400,000 and David Benyamine called on the button.
On a flop of 8♥5♠3♥, Nguyen bet the pot and then called when Benyamine jammed for around 2.7 million.
Nguyen already exposed his A♣J♥5♥3♣ for the bottom two pair and jack-high flush draw while Benyamine took a few seconds to roll over his A♥J♣10♥8♣ for top pair and the nut flush draw.
Benyamine improved with the 9♥ turn but the 3♦ river gave Nguyen a full house. The phone of Benyamine fell off the side table when the Frenchman jumped up in disgust and he then headed to the payout desk.
