Benyamine Rakes In Quick $30k

While playing an intense $200/$400 NL game, Ivey was joined at the $1k/$2k by David Benyamine. It was a fairly short match as Ivey left to concentrate on the high stakes no-limit action. But before Ivey was able to leave, Benyamine netted a nice profit of almost $30k.

The biggest hand they played had Benyamine’s flop a set. He was able to get two bets in on the flop and the turn for a nice $20k pot.
