A few minutes after play started, there was a big hand between Chris Ferguson and David Benyamine. Even though I’m less than 20 feet from the table and there’s a video monitor next to me, I was unable to find out the size of any of the bets and saw just a glimpse of the flop. They showed down their hands but that never made it to my monitor.
Exciting huh?
Don’t worry. I went from the worst seat in the house to the best.
The hand, which involved Chris’s A-J against David’s A-2s, involved one of those collisions that you can’t avoid. You can only hope they don’t hurt too much. The flop was J-5-4, giving Ferguson top pair. Benjamine, however, had in addition to the gutshot draw and the (illusiory) overcard, four to a flush.
The turn was an ace, which obviously embolded Chris and assured that David would have to call. Along with straddles and four players seeing the flop, the pot was too big for Benyamine to fold to a well-sized value bet by Ferguson when the off-suit nine on the river left Benyamine without much hope.
There followed a fascinating series of hands, well worth my skipping the live action for a bit to recount for you.
