Benton Scoops Big Pot
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Evan Benton and Jeffrey Kurtz, where a sizable pot was brewing.
On the flop of 2♥10♠9♥, Kurtz check-raised to 450,000 over Benton's bet of 180,000. Benton made the call.
The turn brought the K♣, and Kurtz led out for 500,000. Benton then moved all in, putting Kurtz at risk.
After a brief moment of thought and a sigh, Kurtz tossed his cards into the muck.
