A New Leader Emerges

Daniel Benjamin
Daniel Benjamin
We pick up the action in another hand involving Daniel Benjamin, immediately following his double up through Edward Sabat.

Benjamin opened with a raise from late position, and Alex Fernandez moved all in for about 55,000 chips. The two men had been playing hard at each other all day, developing a history of aggression between them.

Benjamin snap called, turning over {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}. Fernandez angrily showed down {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. The board ran out {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, and Fernandez was sent packing in the second level of play today.

Benjamin, meanwhile, is on the move, having climbed all the way up to 160,000, likely the chip leader at this point.
