Double KO for Benson

Level 9 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Jun Wang was all in before the flop as was one other player and Gary Benson had called with his covering stack, putting both players at risk.

Gary Benson: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Jun Wang: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The flop came down {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Benson stayed in the lead.

"Keep 'em low, keep 'em low," Benson said.

The {10-Diamonds} turn wasn't as low but it kept Benson safe. The river was the {8-Spades} and that would seal it. Benson scored the double knock out, chipping up to nearly 190,000 and sending Wang and one other player to the rail.
