Benton Is One of Two Bubble Boys
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Table One:
Evan Benton, in the big blind, was all in an at risk for his effective stack of 32,000 against Yang Lei, who was under the gun.
Evan Benton: A?7? 
Yang Lei: A?J?
Benton was dominated and the 9?2?5?9?A? runout couldn't save him, sending him to the rail.
Table Two:
William Souther raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and the small blind moved all in for 158,000. Souther made the call.
Small Blind: Q?Q?
William Souther: A?8?
The small blind was out in front but the A?4?3?8?6? runout saw Souther crack queens to help burst the bubble.
The two bubble boys will split the 168th place prize of $3,923.
