Benzimra Bust

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

There was an early position raise before EPT Warsaw winner Christophe Benzimra reraised to 11,500. A few seats down, Dermot Blain shoved for 49,100, which was enough to push the original raiser off. Benzimra called, though, and they were on their backs.

Benzimra: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Blain: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Board: {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The stacks were assessed and it was found that Benzimra covered Blain - by just 2,600. He called all in to a raise next hand and found himself up against two other players, who checked the {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs} board right down to the river when one player bet out 4,000 and the called the other player's raise to 15,000. Benzimra flipped {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for two pair but the river raiser turned over {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush. The third player mucked, and Benzimra was gone.
