Najib Bennani opened from the button with a raise to 125,000. In the small blind, Ben Grundy reraised the pot, making it 425,000 to play and leaving himself with just 40,000 funny money behind. Rami Boukai quickly folded his big blind, but Bennani would take his time to think things through. After about a minute-long stare-down, Bennani told Grundy he was putting him all in, and Grundy stuck the rest of his stack into the middle.
Showdown
Bennani:
Grundy:
The flop was pretty safe and sound for the at-risk Grundy, coming
. Bennani picked up a lot of outs when the turn card brought the 
though, and Grundy stood to sweat what would end up being his final card of the night. The 
spiked the river, drawing a huge cheer from the relatively small Bennani cheerleading squad.Grundy's dry aces got run down by Bennani's two pair, and the Brit has been eliminated in 3rd place. For his efforts over the past three days, he'll walk away with just less than $100,000. Not too shabby, but judging by the look on his face, not the result he was hoping for tonight.
