Benton Short Stacked

Aaron Benton has taken a large hit to his stack without showdown.

We caught the action on the turn with the board reading {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and about 14,000 chips already in the pot. Benton, who was the small blind, had just checked to Sherif Badran on the button. Badran made it 4,500 and Benton check-raised to 11,500. After some thought Bardran made the call.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Benton very quickly moved 13,000 chips in, almost as quickly Badran announced "all in". It didn't take a lot longer for Benton to muck his cards.

"I had a read you weren't strong," said Badran. "I had you" he added.

Benton didn't look very impressed as he examined his now 16,000 chip stack. Badran moves up to around 60,000.
