Benjamin Menard’s exit was a two-part process.
In the first hand, he opened to 300,000 from utg, and then called the all-in of Steve Winters worth 2,360,000 total. Benjamin turned over 
, but couldn’t overcome the 
of Steve, who turned a set to lock in the hand.
On the very next hand, he 3-bet all-in for his last 550,000 facing an early-position open from Richard Lord. He tabled 
, but once again his overcards could not over come the underpair, as Richard’s 
held on the 
board.
Players are now on a short break.
