Emad Tahtouh Doubles Through Gary Benson

Gary Benson appeared to be cruising to a victory. He was slowly chipping away at Emad Tahtoouh's stack. Then the two got it all in pre-flop.

Tahtouh raised to 5,000 from the small blind. Benson re-raised all in and Tahtouh quickly called for his last 37,600.

Tahtouh: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Benson: {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}

"You had to have A-10, huh?" grumbled Benson who was not happy to have a dominated hand.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. The turn was the {Q-Spades} and the river was the {6-Clubs}. Tahtouh doubled up to almost 79,000. Benson slipped to 121,000.
