Benton Triples Up
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Nick Maimone opened to 400,000 from under the gun, then Guofeng Wang on the button decided to go all in with the biggest stack of the table. Evan Benton shoved as well for approximately 750,000, and Maimone snap-called.
Evan Benton: A♣Q♣ 
Nick Maimone: K♠K♦
Guofeng Wang: K♥J♠
Maimone was on his way to take a massive pot, but after the 6♦7♥4♠ flop, Benton hit the A♦ turn to triple up after the 9♥ river. Maimone still won the side pot.
