Benson Done In by Burr's Kings
Level 16
No-Limit Hold'em
Australian Gary Benson raised to 23,000 under the gun and action folded to Melissa Burr, who three-bet to 72,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, Benson instantly moved all-in for 450,000 total and Burr hit the tank. She tanked a bit before making the call, and the tabled ribbed her a bit for not calling faster with the hand that she had.
Burr: 
Benson: 
The 
flop gave Burr a hammerlock on the hand with middle set, and the 
turn left Benson drawing dead. The meaningless 
was put out on the river to make it official, and Benson exited the tournament in 18th place.
