Brooke Waves Bye-Bye Thanks to Benton

Brooke Howard-Smith can ponder no more!
Brooke Howard-Smith can ponder no more!

Brooke Howard-Smith opened under the gun to 1,100 only to have Aaron Benton three-bet to 2,700.

Once the action returned to Howard-Smith, he moved all in for 20,700 and was snapped off by Benton.

Howard-Smith: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Benton: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

With Howard-Smith at risk, the {10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop gave him an additional two outs to go along with his live ace.

Those two outs that he gained on the flop would be just as quickly cut away when the {Q-Spades} landed on the turn.

As the dealer dropped the {7-Diamonds} on the river, Howard-Smith was forced to make an exit to the rail as Benton climbed to 59,000 in chips.
