In the description of the hand where David Benefield was eliminated there was a substantial error in the betting on the turn. With the board reading
, Cantu checked, Benefield bet 335,000, Cantu moved all in, and Benefield called. The original post said Benefield moved all in for 335,000 and that was wrong--he bet 335,000, Cantu moved in, and David made the call. Benefield had the straight but Cantu made his flush when the
fell on the river.
Our apologies for the error. The post in question has been modified and corrected.
