Andreadis Up; Benson Out

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Gary Benson lost the short stack grind and just headed to the rail, pretty much exactly at the same time as the opponent of Jim Andreadis. The latter won a flip for 33,000 with pocket jacks versus {A-}{Q-} and the board ran out in favor of the Australian.

Another local player was taking a stab at reducing the field. However, Stevan Chew didn't get there with {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for 18,600. His opponent was ahead preflop with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and doubled up after the board ran out {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.
