Bensimhon's "Big Hand" Fails to Materialize as Fortuna Gets Famous
"Big hand. I can read them like a book. Set over set over flush," Eyal Bensimhon said, standing up from his seat as Sylwester Fortuna, Jan Wieckenberg, and Mindaugas Jonaitis went to the turn on a board of J?5?9?4?.
Fortuna then bet 5,000 from the small blind, Wieckenberg folded, and Jonaitis called in middle position.
"Big hand. Camera," Bensimhon yelled out as the A? fell on the river. Fortuna then flicked in a 25,000 chip, but Jonaitis quickly folded.
"Now you're famous," Bensimhon told Fortuna as he raked in the pot.
The next hand, Bensimhon raised to 5,500 in hijack and Fortuna called in the big blind. "Sylwester playing two hands in a row," Bensimhon said as they checked down to the river on a board of 9?3?2?4?8?.
"I want your hair dresser," Fortuna replied. Bensimhon then bet 2,500. "Ace-high is good," he said as Fortuna called. Bensimhon then showed A?8? for a pair of eights and Fortuna mucked.
