Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
A short-stacked Aaron Benton limped in under the gun only to have Jesse McKenzie bump it next to act to 5,500.
Benton made the call, and when the flop landed 
, he pushed all in for roughly his last 24,000. McKenzie made the call to put the reigning champion at risk.
Benton: 
McKenzie: 
With Benton needing a deuce to stay alive, the 
on the turn, followed by the 
on the river ensured he wouldn't be able to become the first back-to-back PokerStars APPT Champion as he was forced to exit the tournament while McKenzie climbed to 165,000 in chips.
