Diamonds are Benson's Best Friend
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The hand began when Danny Loomis went all-in from under the gun for 145,000. He was called in two spots by Gary Benson from middle position, and David Robertson from the big blind.
Robertson checked the flop of 3♦5♥K♦ before Benson announced all-in, which elicited a fold from Robertson to go to a showdown against Loomis.
Danny Loomis: K♠J♣
Gary Benson: A♦J♦
Loomis held the top pair, but Benson was drawing to diamonds and an ace. The suspense did not last long as the 9♦ peeled off on the river to end the hand as the inconsequential 4♥ hit the river.
