David Benyamine Eliminated in 14th Place ($20,579)

The overnight chip leader, and World Series of Bracelet holder, David Benyamine, is out of this competition; and of course it was Naoya Kihara who brought down the guillotine.
Kihara raised to 18,000 on the button, Benyamine three-bet to 62,000 from the small blind and the fearless Kihara called.
Flop:
Benyamine moved all-in for 125,000 and Kihara made the call.

Kihara held a pair of threes and Benyamine a pair of kings.
Turn:
Kihara made two-pair and Benyamine was gutted. The river sealing the deal and the Frenchman was out in 14th place. Kihara moved upwards and onwards with 1,335,000.
