Benoit Has a Hand, Khalil Does Too
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The action folded all the way to Day 2 chip leader Charles-Eric Benoit on the button who only took a moment before moving all in over the two short stacks in the blinds.
The small blind folded and the then Jean-Francois Khalil snap called in the big blind.
Jean-Francois Khalil: K?K? 
Charles-Eric Benoit: 5?5?
Benoit would need some some help but it wouldn't come on the 9?K?Q?3?J? board. Khalil got the pure double to stay alive.
