Aaron Benton - 16th Place
Aaron Benton - 16th Place
Aaron Benton moved all in preflop and was called by Steve Goldwater. Goldwater had the lead with pocket eights and Benton held two over cards: {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}.

The flop gave Benton a wheel draw: {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. The turn was the {3-Spades}, meaning Benton needed to hit his straight or pair one of his cards on the river. but when the {4-Spades} fell off, it was close, but not close enough.

Benton finished in 16th place, earning $1,704 for his efforts.
