Smit Fills up to Bust Benson

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

William Benson opened to 35,000 and was called by Werner Smit in the big blind.

Smit checked to Benson, who continued for 20,000 on the 9JA flop. Smit then put in a pot-sized check-raise and Benson called all-in for his remaining stack.

William Benson: AJ108All in
Werner Smit: J997

Both players had flopped big, but Smit had the best of it with his set of nines.

The K turn improved Benson to a flush for the lead, but the K river left Smit best with a full house for the elimination.
