Benton Scoops Big Pot
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Evan Benton and Jeffrey Kurtz, where a sizable pot was brewing.
On the flop of 2?10?9?, Kurtz check-raised to 450,000 over Benton's bet of 180,000. Benton made the call.
The turn brought the K?, and Kurtz led out for 500,000. Benton then moved all in, putting Kurtz at risk.
After a brief moment of thought and a sigh, Kurtz tossed his cards into the muck.
