Benton Busted

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante
Aaron Benton
Aaron Benton

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 {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts} 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 {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. His opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Benton's flush draw was not quite good enough, so he would need his kings to hold.

The {9-Spades} on the turn changed nothing, but the {3-Clubs} 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 {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} could not improve against an all-in players {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

The very next hand Benton tripled to around 4,000 when he caught good with {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} against {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

But alas, this story is finally over with Benton couldnt win a race just a few hands later, holding {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Take a rest Benton, it's been a tough few minutes.
