Benger Gets Some Back
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Pratyush Buddiga raised to 12,000, Griffin Benger moved all in for 27,000, and Greg Merson cold four-bet to 50,000. Buddiga folded.
Benger: 
Merson: 
Benger was in trouble, but the 
flop gave him an up-and-down straight draw along with a flush draw. He hit neither on the turn, but the 
gave him a superior pair. The 
on the river gave him a flush for kicks and giggles, and he doubled through.
Merson dropped down to 115,000 chips.
