Benger Doubles Duong

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jack Duong limped the button and Griffin Benger announced an all in bet. Duong called for his tournament life of 14,375 and the hands were turned over.

Benger: {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Duong: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Benger jumped into the lead on the flop, pairing his king with {Q-Spades}{A-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. He kept the lead with the {6-Clubs} on the turn, and needed to dodge a ten or a jack on the final card in order to clinch the match. Alas, the river brought the {10-Spades} and gave Duong a set of tens for the double up. Benger's stack is now down to about 58,000, but he still holds the lead in the match.
