: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
George Wong raised to 200,000 from early position, Anton Morgenstern flatted directly from Wong's left, and David Benefield bumped it up to 625,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Wong who asked Benefield for a count, and Benefield had about 3.2 million behind. That information was enough to get Wong to release, but Morgenstern woke up with a four-bet to 1.1 million. Benefield sat still in his chair for two minutes before electing to muck, and Morgenstern's sneaky play added nearly a million to his stack.
