Benton Put to the Test

[user38449]

Moments ago, Leo Boxell put Aaron Benton to a major decision to the tune of about 735,000 in chips.

Benton opened the pot with a raise to 240,000 from under-the-gun and was called by both Wayne Carlson (small blind) and Boxell (big).

The flop came down {K-Hearts}

and the action was checked to Benton who fired a continuation bet of 350,000. Carlson folded and Boxell made the call.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts}

and both players checked, sending the action to the river -- {5-Clubs}

-- where Boxell open-shoved all in for about 735,000.

Benton took of his sunglasses, smiling, and got up out of his chair.

"I've got a king, Leo!" Benton said.

After tanking for ages, Benton sat back down and attempted to get information from Boxell, whose only reply was, "You've got heaps (of chips to make the call)."

Eventually, Benton laid down his cards and Boxell told him he had king-ten, but never showed his cards.

"I feel sick," Benton said, claiming something "told him" to fold.
