David Benyamine Eliminated in Seventh Place ($58,990)

[user75032]

It was a short, rough day for David Benyamine. Each time he made a move, somebody played back at him. He moved in for his last 146,000 after Erick Lindgren opened the pot for 40,000 and was called by Tony G. Lindgren was the only caller of Benyamine's raise. He drew one card while Benyamine stood pat.

Lindgren: 8-2-4-5-?
Benyamine: J-8-7-4-2

Lindgren pulled a seven for his draw card to make an 8-7 and knock Benyamine out of the tournament. Benyamine earns $58,990 while Lindgren increases his stack to over 1.4 million.

With his hand in the muck and nothing to do, Mike Matusow just chimed in "so who would rather win the 50K H.O.R.S.E. this year rather than the Main Event?" Most of the replies were inaudible but Erick Lindgren let it be known he'd rather take down the World Championship. "Really?" said Matusow. "You'd rather win the Main Event, huh?" Lindgren replied "Definitely. Then again, you're talking to a guy that's never even cashed in the Main Event." Matusow smiled and said, "Well, that's true."

The players have come to play power poker for today's final table. After action folded to Barry Greenstein on the button, he raised to 30,000. Tony G quickly made the call from the small blind. David Benyamine considered his option from the big blind. He tanked for over a minute, casually shuffling a stack of pink (T5,000) chips in his hand before reraising to 83,000. Greenstein silently folded. For his part, Tony G asked for a count of Benyamine's remaining stack (about 200,000) then re-checked his cards and stared up at the ceiling of the Amazon Room. Finally he said "Good move," and folded his hand face up: 3-3-5-4-2. Benyamine obliged and showed his hand as well: J-T-9-x-x.

"If you never draw, you're in good shape in this game," said Mike Matusow. "But we both played that last hand pretty bad. I took too long to call [before the draw], so I can't bet. Even if I make my hand, you can raise me right off it."

"I thought about betting 30 at the end --"

"I might have raised you!" said Tony G.
