Defending Champ Benny Glaser Left With Short Stack; Eliminated Shortly After

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Benny Glaser
Benny Glaser

Scott Fitzhugh raised from under the gun. Action folded around to Benny Glaser in the big blind who called. The flop came {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Glaser checked to Fitzhugh. Fitzhugh bet. Glaser raised. Fitzhugh reraised. Glaser raised once more, enough to put Fitzhugh all in. Fitzhugh called and the two turned up their hands.

Glaser: {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Fitzhugh: {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

"Wow, you have all my outs too," Glaser said.

The turn and the river were the {10-Hearts} and {5-Hearts} and that gave Fitzhugh the scoop. Glaser was left with an extremely short stack after the hand and was eliminated from the tournament shortly after.
