Benton Busted
Level 7
: 300/600, 50 ante
It has been a tumultuous time for Aaron Benton, with the last 5 minutes proving a little too exciting.
It all started when our PokerNews reporter came to the action at Aaron Benton's table, with a pool of chips already in the pot, a flop on the board showing 
and Benton against one opponent.
At this point, all of Benton's opponents chips went into the pot and Benton made the call turning over 
. His opponent turned over 
. Benton's flush draw was not quite good enough, so he would need his kings to hold.
The 
on the turn changed nothing, but the 
on the river gave Benton's opponent the flush. That pot left Benton with 7,000.
Benton then was down to 1,200 when his 
could not improve against an all-in players 
.
The very next hand Benton tripled to around 4,000 when he caught good with against .
But alas, this story is finally over with Benton couldnt win a race just a few hands later, holding 
. Take a rest Benton, it's been a tough few minutes.

A few hands later Glazier again sent a short-stack home, this time waking up with , too good for which found no help.
Glazier now has 52,000. After buying in on multiple days, Glazier is looking good to not see the same fate as yesterday.

Lee Loss
Level 8
: 400/800, 75 ante
Our PokerNews reporter came to the table with a board reading 
and David Lee heavy in thought against one opponent. After a length of time Lee finally bet 2,100. While Lee took a long time to make his decision, his opponent was quick to make his, snap-calling.
The fell on the river and this time Lee checked. Just as quickly as he called the last street, Lee's opponent bet 6,000. Lee folded and lost the pot.
Just a few hands later the same opponent could be seen taking more of Lee's chips, this time without any cards being dealt out. Lee check-raised to 11,000 before his opponent quickly re-raised to 21,000. Lee made the fold. Perhaps this guy was given Lee's number earlier in the day.
Lee falls to 28,000. Still in shape, but the chip stack not looking as plump as earlier in the day.
