Kara Scott raised to 24,000 from early position, Eric Tom called from middle position, and David Benefield called from the small blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Benefield and Scott checked, and Tom bet 100,000. Benefield called, and Scott got out of the way.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds}. Benefield checkd, Tom pushed all in, and Benefield quickly called. Tom showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, but Benefield had {9-Spades}{6-Spades} -- he'd flopped a straight.

The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Tom's day was done. Benefield is now up to 1.4 million
