Smith Sends Bentham Packing

Tyler Smith opened to 2,600 from the cutoff, Thomas Bentham moved all in for 26,100 on the button, the blinds released, and Smith called.

Smith: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Bentham: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Bentham remained ahead after the flop fell {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, but the {9-Diamonds} spiked on the turn, giving Smith a leading pair. The {3-Diamonds} bricked on the river, and Bentham was eliminated from the tournament.
