Big Flip Helps Benton, Razavi Out
Pat Dillon just explained to us how Aaron Benton got a hold of a big stack. Benton raised to 1,050 under the gun plus one, and Ismaeel Razavi three-bet to 2,650 from middle position. The action was folded back around to Benton who four-bet to 6,200. Razavi went all in for 17,000 after this four-bet, and Benton decided to call.
Benton showed 
against Razavi's 
and managed to win the flip when the board ran out 
. Benton is looking really good with 55,000 chips while both of the Razavi brothers are out now.

Gill Into Early Retirement?
Usually retirement follows a big win or old age, but Oliver Gill just decided this might be the time.
"I think I got owned in almost every pot today. Maybe I'm gonna retire now," Gill said as he explained his final hand to us which he started with 9,000 chips. "All day I won one pot bigger than 1,000 chips when I four-bet all in pre flop," Gill added.
Gill min-raised pre flop with 
and the player in the big blind called. The flop came down 
with two hearts, and Gill's opponent called the 1,500-chip continuation bet. The turn brought a and Gill moved all in after his opponent had checked.
Gill's shove did not give him the pot as he was called by . The river brought an , but that was not enough to beat two pair.

Confusing Hand Gives Arrilucea a Big Lead
Luis Arrilucea's opponent will be thinking about the following hand long and hard as he just busted out. The action started when Arrilucea raised from the hijack and Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen called from the cutoff. The player in the small blind called as well creating three-way action.
The flop came down 
and the small blind checked. Arrilucea bet 2,500 and Guillen folded quickly. The small blind put together some chips and threw out 6,500. He immediately realized this wasn't what he intended to do, and told the dealer he wanted to call. Since he hadn't announced this verbally his raise would stand. With this new information the action was back on Arrilucea who opted for a call.
On the turn the 
popped up and the small blind checked again. Arrilucea looked at the stack of his opponent who had around 24,000 chips left. Arrilucea threw out 7,200 and his opponent called again.
On the river the hit and Arriluceau thought that the small blind had checked. He quickly moved all in and the dealer said it wasn't his turn to act. He pulled his bet back, but it would stand if the small blind opted to check. The small blind ended up throwing his remaining chips into the pot, and Arrilucea followed suit. He quickly showed 
, and frustratedly his opponent showed 
as he left the tournament.
Arrilucea now has a big chip lead with an hour and a half left to play.
