Benger Busts One

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Griffin Benger looked away from his phone for a mili second and found pocket queens in the big blind. There was more than enough action before him with a raise to 425 from the under plus two and a three-bet from the hijack to 1,125. Benger shoved for 7,625 and the first raiser folded. The hijack thought for a second and made the call.

Benger tabled {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and was in a race situation against the hijack's {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. What started out as a fair race was not so much anymore after the flop: {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn sealed the deal for Benger and the {9-Clubs} was just there for good measures.
