Aaron Benton Eliminated

Aaron Benton's roller coaster ride has come to an end. After being as low as 4,000, Benton got himself back to 17,900 chips after doubling up with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

against Simon Watt's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

when the board bricked out {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

.

"One more double up!" encouraged Eric Assadourian from a nearby table, and Benton looked for that the very next hand.

With a raise to 5,000 from early position by German Oleg Epp, Benton moved all in from the big blind for an additional 12,200.

When Epp made the call, Benton pleaded for him to show ace-king. It wasn't to be as Benton's {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

was in deep trouble against Epp's {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

. The board bricked out {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

to give Epp the pot and eliminate Benton from the tournament.
