Gary Benson Takes Down Another

Gary Benson raises it up pre-flop to 1,800 and his opponent re-pops it to 5,400. Benson then re-raises to 12,000 and gets a call.

The flop brings {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Benson bets out 15,000 into the already healthy pot. His opponent thinks for a few moments and decides to commit his remaining 40,000 chips into the pot. Benson insta-calls and the biggest pot of the tournament is up for grabs:

Benson: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The turn of {5-Hearts} and river of {6-Diamonds} leaves Benson with a mountain of chips and a huge lead over today's field.
