Miami John Takes One off Benson

Miami John
Miami John
Omaha 8:

I didn't quite catch who the aggressor was, but in a three-way pot, Gary Benson, Bill Gazes and John Cernuto all see the turn of a {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts} board.

Checked around, the river is a {5-Spades}, which leads to a check from Gazes, a check from Benson, but a bet of 4,000 from Cernuto. Gazes folds, but Benson goes into the tank.

Seemingly faced with a torturous decision, Benson looks as though he's about to call, but hesitates, resting his head on his hand as he runs through the tale of the tape.

Again, Benson counts out the 4,000, but stops, scratching his head in the process. Eventually he concedes "It's just too much" and throws in the chips, but quickly mucks upon seeing his foe's {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Spades} for the eight high flush.

As a result, Gazes and Benson drop to 15,000 and 37,500 respectively.
