Flight E Players Remaining:  171 of 682

Charlemagne Benjamin opened the action from under the gun, it folded around to Anthony Askey in the small blind and he moved all in for 51,500. Benjamin thought and talked for a minute before he called with the bigger stack.

It was a race and Askey needed to improve to double but it was Benjamin nailing the flop for a set of sixes. Askey still had a spade draw but blanked the turn and river to exit the flight.
