Benton Steaming, Im Winning

Aaron Benton is not happy, and he just made that very clear after losing a serious pot against Team PokerStars Pro Vivian Im.

"I'm running really bad today," Benton yelled for everyone at his table to hear. He explained how he flopped top pair with {A-}{Q-}, but ran into a set of aces. And as mentioned in the first paragraph, he also lost some chips to Im.

Im raised to 500 under the gun, and the action was folded to Benton who three-bet to 1,500 from the cutoff. The action got back to Im, and she called.

The flop brought out {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and Im lead out for 2,000. Benton called, and the turn was the {8-Diamonds}. Im lead again, and fired out 3,500. Benton didn't hesitate, and called once again.

On the river the {9-Clubs} hit, and Im checked to Benton who quickly checked behind. Im showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for a full house, and Benton tabled his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Moments later we heard that Benton got his stack all in with {10-}{10-} versus a player with {A-}{A-}. The board ran out {10-}{6-}{7-}{8-}.....{9-}, and Benton chopped that one up. Even after all this crazy action the Aussie still smiled and laughed, since he's still in the event.
