Salman Behbehani found himself all in holding pocket kings against Dan O’Brien and his pocket queens.
Bradley Oubre just took a small pot off Salman Behbehani and that means he’s now up to 55,000 chips. In the current level that’s a staggering 275 amount of big blinds.
There was a raise to 625 and both the hijack and cutoff called before Salman Behbehani tossed in the extra chips from the small blind. The big blind called as well after which the flop rolled out Q
We just spotted Salman Behbehani and Michael Benvenuti enjoy a vey well balanced meal, but that was not the thing that stood out. Benvenuti had taken Justin Young’s seat and Behbehani explained how he managed to cooler the life out of his former neighbor.
Joseph Cheong played very little hands on Day 1a yesterday, but today he’s back for more. Cheong sat down to the right of Brendon Rubie who decided not to play yesterday. This table also has Chris DeMaci who busted out yesterday as well.
