Juanda Eliminates Benson in 10th Place

John Juanda has just eliminated Gary Benson from the tournament in 10th place - just two shy of the money. Juanda made it 20,000 to go from the small blind and Benson moved all in from the big for a total of 23,000; Juanda called.

Juanda: {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Benson: {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

As the dealer spread the {10-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, all Gary Benson could manage to say was, "Jesus Christ . . ." The turn gave Benson additional outs to a straight, but the {5-Clubs} on the river locked it up for Juanda. Though visibly and understandably disappointed, Benson absorbed the loss with class, shaking Juanda's hand and wishing the table luck before exiting the tournament area.

With just nine players left, the tournament is now being played hand-for-hand on two short-handed tables.
