Hirvonen Holds to Bust Benson

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Big O

Mikko Hirvonen opened to 2,000 on the button and called a three-bet to 6,400 from big blind Gary Benson. The flop came {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Benson bet 10,000. Hirvonen potted, and Benson slid in his stack of 45,000 or so.

Benson: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Hirvonen: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

"I need a diamond," Benson observed. None emerged, as it came {6-Spades} then {j-Spades} to seal his elimination.
