One for the Aussie
Australia's Gary Benson limped from the cutoff only to have the player on the button raise to 800. The small blind called, Ben Stark did the same from the big blind and then Benson put in the additional 200. Four players saw a flop of 
and three checks saw the button bet. The small blind called, Stark folded and Benson put in the 200.
When the 
turned, the small blind and Benson both checked, which inspired the button to bet 400. The small blind folded and then Benson woke up with a check-raise to 800. The button made the call and then called one last bet on the 
river. Benson, who has already made one final table this summer, rolled over the 
for two pair, and it was good as the button flicked his cards to the muck.
Despite winning that pot, Benson is down quite a bit from the starting stack.
