Koral: / /
Benyamine: / /
Benyamine improved on seventh to a 9-6 and doubled through to 58,000 in chips.
After being crippled, and then doubling, David Benyamine has continued to play pot after pot to try and build his stack.
Benyamine completed and Alex Dovzhenko called, and then called a bet on fourth before folding on fifth as Benyamine moved to roughly 85,000.

Benyamine completed and Greg Mueller called before Konstantin Puchkov defended his bring-in before betting fourth and fifth streets. Mueller passed on fourth, and Benyamine passed on fifth to give the Russian the pot.
Benyamine: /
Mueller: / (folded on fourth)
Puchkov: /
On the next hand Benyamine would return the favor to Puchkov after completing over his bring-in and then firing bets on fourth and fifth before he finally folded.
Action folded to Brett Richey in the cutoff and he raised to 20,000, leaving himself just 1,000 behind. Adam Friedman called from the small blind, Chris Klodnicki came along from the big and three players saw a flop of . Two checks saw Richey bet his last chip, and then two calls followed.
Friedman and Klodnicki proceeded to check both the turn and river. The former turned over the and the latter .
"Wheel-flush," Richey proudly said and then tabled the for the scoop.
Catching the action on fifth street after fourth was checked round. Alex Dovzhenko bet out 20,000 only to have Tom Koral two-bet to 40,000. Viatcheslav Ortynsiky folded and Dovchenko raised to 60,000 before Koral moved all in for 72,000 with Dovchenko making the call.
Dovchenko: /
Koral: /
With Koral having a made 8-7 low to Dovchenko's pair, Dovchenko would improve to an 8-6 low when he caught the .
On seventh Koral squeezed out the for a better high, but Dovchenko would have the best of it as he spiked the for aces-up and the low to scoop Koral out in 12th place.
Brett Richey has been on the short side of things for quite some time and has flirted with elimination on more than one occasion. This latest time, Richey's luck ran out.
It happened when Richey completed with a and Benjamin Scholl called with an . Richey bet 10,000 on fourth and then out in his last 6,000 on fifth, both of which Scholl called. Before we could jot down all the cards, the dealer put out sixth and Scholl made a nine-low. We think Richey paired up on sixth, but whatever the case he said he was drawing dead, scooped up his cards and sent them to the muck.
Adam Friedman had the bring-in for 3,000 before Tom Schneider completed. Friedman called, and then called a 12,000-chip bet on fourth, fifth and sixth before stating, "I'll check dark!"
Friedman: / /
Schneider: / /
Schneider checked also and Friedman announced, "I have at least tens, fives and threes" as he turned over his in the hole before revealing the on seventh.
"Thanks for checking" added Schneider as he folded and slipped to 310,000 while Friedman climbed to 550,000.
We picked up action on fifth street when David Benyamine bet and Viatcheslav Ortynskiy called. The action repeated itself on both sixth and seventh streets and Ortynskiy rolled over for a 9-8-4-3-A low. Unfortunately for him, it was no good as Benyamine showed for an 8-6-5-2-A low and the win.
Craig Mckinnon completed to 12,000 only to have Tom Schneider raise. Mckinnon committed his final 22,000 and this is how each player's board ran out.
Mckinnon: / /
Schneider: / /
With Schneider improving on seventh, Mckinnon would hit the rail in 10th place as the final nine players are redrawing and moving to the feature table.
