Benger Busts One

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Griffin Benger got up from the table to tell us how he got that 75,000-stack in front of him.

Benger had been raising frequently and did so once more, now holding a real hand with {A-}{K-}. He made it 750 from first position and Unibet Open Glasgow champion Daniel Chutrov made the call two seats down.

"A Danish or Swedish looking guy" squeezed to 2,550 and action got back to Benger. Benger, the sole Canadian in the field today, four-bet to 6,750 and Chutrov folded. His opponent now shoved all in for around 30,000 and Benger snap called.

Benger's opponent showed {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and said something to the effect of "I am surprised. Why do you not flat?"

Benger, all smiles afterwards, told us he answered "Because I knew you were going to do something like this!"

The board ran out {9-}{3-}{2-}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Benger busted his nemesis.
