The first hand we saw at the secondary table during this latest trip saw about 40,000 in the pot preflop, and the board reading 
. David Benyamine tossed out a 25,000 chip from the small blind, and Sam Trickett decided it was worth considerably more to him making it 58,000 total. This sent Benyamine into the tank as he counted out his chips behind, a total of 161,000. With five seconds left to act he tossed in his time bank chip, to get himself an additional thirty seconds. It didn't help, and he mucked.
The next hand Benyamine decided to try to get that 25,000 back. Paul Phua limped, followed by Annette Obrestad, and then Wang Qiang bumped it up to 26,000 straight. No tank time was needed on this hand for Benyamine, and he fired in his 161,000 instantly into the pot. The folds that followed happened almost as quickly.
