Tom Bentham Eliminated... Eventually

Tom Bentham is holding {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} and Todd Terry (not, incidentally, the legendary producer of the same name) is holding {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. The board reads {A-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {3-Spades} {10-Hearts}, and one of them is all in. However, there seems to be some confusion over which one of them it is.

Eventually, after some counting and re-counting of stacks, it is determined that Terry does not have Bentham covered, and he is left with just 3,800, including his small blind for the next hand, all of which he sticks in after an UTG raise from Bill Chen and a call from another player. Chen bet the flop and the other player folded.

Chen: {4-?} {4-?}
Bentham: {Q-?} {9-?}

Board: {J-?} {2-?} {3-?} {10-?} {8-?}

Bentham makes a straight to triple up.

However, it couldn't last -- he was all in again the next hand, and this time his luck ran out and he busted out in 57th place for $5,586.
