With the table in shock at how Benton was effectively gifted a double up, the turn and river rolled out the and to see Benton double through to 23,150.
"Wowee!" sparked one player on the table as Benton clapped in a flurry as the pot was pushed to him.
"Did you really think you were behind there?" asked Brooke Howard-Smith.
"When I raised him, I'm not going to fold!" responded Benton.
As James Honeybone waltzed over to check out what unfolded, Benton screamed, "Ship it!"
"He doesn't realize I'm not going to fold for 5k . . . thank you very much my fried!" concluded Benton as he stepped away from the table to take a breather.
