Gary Benson

Preflop, three players limped in to Gary Benson's small blind, and he pumped it up with a raise. All the limpers opted to call, sending it to a {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

flop.

Benson his 3,200 stack on the flop with defending champion in this event, Mark Kassis the only player to call.

Before calling Kassis had thought for a bit, before announcing, "I hope you have Ace-Queen Gary," and calling.

Benson had a Queen in his hand, in fact he had two of them, and that would prove a problem for Kassis' {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

.

The board blanked {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

and

{8-Spades}

to make both players a full house, but Benson's {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

beating out Kassis.

Benson now has 10,400.
