Benton Burrows to 2.7 Million

Aaron Benton just tangled with Ernst Hermans again, emerging victorious and doubling up to 2.7 million in chips.

Benton opened the pot with a raise to 150,000 from under-the-gun and Hermans three-bet to 400,000 from the cutoff. Benton then moved all in over the top for about 1.2 million total and Hermans snap-called, setting up the following preflop showdown:

Benton: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Hermans: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The ensuing board filled out {J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Benton let Hermans hear it:

"That's how we roll... we smack sets! You call me with jack-ten and I'm going to hammer you again!" Benton needled.

"You three-bet me and it's going in the middle!"

After the hand, Hermans dropped down to 2.3 million in chips.
