Roller Coaster Ride for Benefield

If there's one man who has been strapped to a roller coaster of late, it's David Benefield. Dropping to 90,000 after doubling up Soren Kongsgaard, Benefield retrieved those chips by taking the scalp of Sutha Nirmalananthan.

All in preflop with {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} versus {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Nirmalananthan flopped a set on a {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, but so did Benefield, the {4-Spades} turn and {4-Diamonds} river providing no extra help and cementing his demise.

Benefield now back up to 115,000.
