Bennington's Bluff Busted

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

With the flop reading {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, Thomas Laviano led out for 100,000 from under the gun, and called the raise of 500,000 made by Michael Bennington.

When a relative blank in the {3-Spades} hit the table on the turn, Laviano moved his stack into the middle, and after representing strength on the flop Bennington now insta-folded.

The failed bluff cost Bennington half his stack, and now he will need to make even more creative moves if he hopes to survive the night.
