Benton Will Not Be Defending Title; Fouchardiere Gets Max

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Evan Benton
Evan Benton

Evan Benton, the defending champion of this event, was heads up to a river reading 8♠4♠Q♥9♦9♠ and he placed a small bet of 6,000 on the river.

Hugo Fouchardiere responded for an all in that was effectively 43,000. Benton went into the tank, counting his stack twice before eventually making the call.

Fouchardiere tabled the Q♠10♠ for the rivered flush and Benton tabled his Q♦J♦ in defeat before congratulating his table mates on a good game.
