Benson Crippled and Out Shortly After

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Gary Benson
Gary Benson

On a flop of {6-Clubs}?{3-Diamonds}?{4-Clubs}, Gary Benson got into a raising war with Richard Johnston the almost even stacks went into the middle with Johnston at risk for his last 25,100.

Benson: {K-Clubs}?{K-Hearts}?{Q-Diamonds}?{9-Clubs}
Johnston: {A-Spades}?{A-Clubs}?{8-Spades}?{8-Clubs}

Neither the {6-Spades} turn nor the {10-Diamonds} river saved Benson and he was left with only 900 chips. He doubled up against Daniel Negreanu after being forced all in the very next hand, then folded the next four hands and was all in for 1,300 chips from early position.

Aaron Lim made the call out of the small blind with {J-Diamonds}?{J-Clubs}?{2-Clubs}?{9-Clubs} and needed to improve against Benson's {A-Diamonds}?{A-Spades}?{A-Clubs}?{4-Hearts}. The run out of the {J-Spades}?{K-Spades}?{9-Spades}?{9-Diamonds}?{9-Hearts} was quite cynical and Benson was denied the back-to-back final tables in Pot Limit Omaha events here at the World Series Of Poker Asia Pacific 2014.
