Thomas' AA Outflopped

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Michael Benton flopped two pair with KT.
Michael Benton flopped two pair with KT.

Three players saw a {q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop for a three-bet of 22,000, and Michael Benton shoved for 42,900 after Shawn Schoreck checked. Ben Thomas tanked for a couple of minutes before making the call, and Schoreck folded.

Thomas: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Benton: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Benton was ahead with kings up, but Thomas could still make a better two pair, trips, or a straight. The {2-Hearts} and {6-Clubs} were bricks, however, and Benton doubled up.

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Darius Brown busted in 16th.
Darius Brown busted in 16th.

Darius Brown just got it all in with {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades} but was dominated by the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} of Daniel Holmes. The {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} provided no help to Brown, who finally met his demise after a fantastic run from being down to 3,000 early in the tournament when he lost an all-in with a set to an overpair.
