Benson Scoops

Level 16

Omaha-8

After nearly scooping an Omaha-8 pot with Stephen Chidwick, during which he had turned a straight and a low only to chop when the Brit hit a flush on the river, Gary Benson received a full double up through Don Nguyen.

Nguyen raised in the cutoff, Benson called in the small blind, then the Aussie check-called another bet on a flop of {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The turn was the {8-Clubs}, Benson led out, putting himself all in, and Nguyen called.

Benson: {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Nguyen: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}

"Ace-five and the nut-flush," Benson said, showing his hand. "You can't stop me from scooping this time."

A meaningless {q-Hearts} completed the board, and Benson doubled.
