No Outs For Benson

Gary Benson Eliminated

You know a player is in trouble when you hear the table shout, "You've got a four for a chop!"

That was the situation as we spotted Gary Benson walk away from his table, only to be called back in the glimmer of hope for a split pot to stay alive in the tournament.

The board read {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} with Benson finding that his pocket jacks had no outs to win once the ace spiked on the flop against two opponents who had both tabled {A-?}{J-?}. The four was Benson's only hope but it wasn't to be as the {8-Diamonds} landed and Benson continued his walk to the nearest exit.
