David Benyamine Eliminated in 5th Place ($96,836)
Shortly after busting Mikhail Savinov, David Benyamine is out in fifth place.
First, in a hand against Ted Forrest. The final board read like this:
Forrest: //
Benyamine: //
Ted Forrest completed his bring in and David Benyamine called. Benyamine then check-called fourth, fifth, and sixth street bets from Forrest. Both checked seventh with Forrest tabling for a pair of aces. Benyamine couldn't beat it and was left with about 350,000.
Shortly thereafter, Benyamine tangled with Phil Hellmuth.
Forrest: /
Benyamine: //
Hellmuth: //
David Benyamine called the bring in amount, but Phil Hellmuth raised. Ted Forrest folded and Benyamine called.
Both checked fourth street and that was followed by Hellmuth bets on fifth and sixth, both called by Benyamine. On seventh Hellmuth bet again, sending Benyamine into the tank for his remaining 90,000. After about three minutes, Benyamine stuck his stack into the middle, but mucked when Hellmuth tabled for aces up.
