Benton Flops a Joint

Aaron Benton

You know you're running good when you flop the nuts in a five-way limped pot, which is what Aaron Benton did moments ago.

Holding {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, Benton saw the flop come {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and the action was checked around.

When the {J-Clubs} fell on the turn, Benton fired a 20,000 bet and was raised to 40,000 by Wayne Carlson. Benton was the lone caller and he and Carlson went heads up to the river — {10-Clubs}.

Benton then fired a 75,000 value bet which was called by Carlson, who mucked after Benton showed him the goods.

After the hand, Benton was up to 1,500,000 in chips while Carlson dropped back down to 840,000.

Lynn caught up with Benton while on dinner break:
