Benefield Hits Full House To Double Through Jouhkimainen
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
David Benefield bet 42,000 on the 
board. Thomas Muhlocker made the call, then Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 142,000. Benefield reraised all in for 266,000, and Muhlocker folded. Jouhkimainen made the call.
Jouhkimainen had turned a nine-high straight with the 
. Benefield had the 
for a set of fives, so he could still improve to double up. The river was the 
to pair the board, and Benefield did just that �� he hit a full house to stay alive and double up.
