Benson Busts

Gary Benson Eliminated
Gary Benson Eliminated
Raemin Alexander raised to 1,600 from early position with Gary Benson flat calling in middle position. The two took a heads-up flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} where Alexander fired 3,500. Benson announced he was all in for around 8,000 with Alexander making the call.

Benson: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Alexander: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} to give Alexander the gutshot straight that he needed as the river blanked the {5-Diamonds}.

Australian Hall of Fame member Gary Benson was sent to the rail as Alexander now sits behind 28,000 chips.
