The action was pretty calm all the way down to the river on a
board, but river betting was extremely quick and cost Ricky most of his stack. Ricky (first to act) bet 350K and Benoit insta-shoved his shorter (but still healthy) stack. Ricky didn’t think twice before calling and tabling
for flopped trip 7s… unfortunately for him, Benoit tabled his
for a runner-runner straight to the 7.
Ricky went from chip leader down to just about 1.6M chips, and Benoit is the massive chip leader.
