Michael Wong Eliminated in 25th Place ($13,068)

Aaron Benton is quickly proving he's got plenty of run-good left in the tank after eliminating yet another opponent in Michael Wong.

Benton opened the pot with a raise to 25,000 from the button and the action then fell to Wong in the small blind who moved all in over the top for a total of 206,000. Benton made the call and tabled {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}; he'd soon be racing against Wong's pocket threes.

The {10-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop gave Benton top pair, top kicker and his hand only improved on the turn and river, which brought running aces giving Benton a full house. After the hand, he stacked up right around 980,000 in chips, while Wong collected $13,068 for his 25th place finish.
