Jared Hamby Eliminated in 24th Place ($19,731)

Nível 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Whenever you encounter pocket aces and pocket kings all in against each other before the flop you're going to end up feeling really sorry for one of the two players by the end of it. It's an unavoidable situation for both, and this time Jared Hamby was on the wrong side of things.

It started with Griffin Benger who raised to 12,000 and he was three-bet by Matt Jarvis from the button to 35,000. Hamby was next to act and he four-bet to 72,000 which got Benger to quickly fold.

Jarvis went into the tank a little longer this time before making it 118,000 to go. Hamby responded with an all-in shove for around 310,000 and the former November Niner called right away.

"Aces?" Hamby asked Jarvis in the split second before the cards were turned over.

Jarivs nodded and Hamby's face turned very sour.

Hamby:
Jarvis:

The board ran out and Hamby was knocked out.

Griffin Benger has had a few close calls at the World Series of Poker, most notably his 14th-place finish in Event #40 of the 2013 WSOP, but lady luck is rarely on his side during the latter stages here at the Rio. In his bust-out hand from that event, Benger was all in and at risk with pocket aces against Peter Hengsakul's pocket kings, and 25% of the chips in play were in the middle of the table.

The flop produced three blanks, as did the turn, but the river was the , and Benger was eliminated.

We just saw Benger take another brutal hit in a bracelet event, this time at the hands of Pratyush Buddiga. Buddiga opened to 12,000 on the button, Benger three-bet to 31,000 out of the small blind, and Buddiga moved all in for 196,000. Benger made a quick call, and had Buddiga dominated.

Buddiga:
