"Look At Me! I'm the Captain Now!"

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

Griffin Benger came over to the media row to tell us another little anecdote.

Benger opened for 1,400 and one player made the call. The flop came {K-}{9-}{7-} with two hearts and a diamond and Benger fired 1,800. His opponent raised to 4,500 and Benger made the call. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn made for an all red board and Benger checked. His opponent bet 9,000 with about 13,000 behind and Benger shoved all in. His opponent folded.

Benger looked to his right, and told his big stack neighbor; "Look at me... Look at me... I'm the captain now!"

The next hand that very same player opened for 1,400. Benger three-bet to 4,500 and told him once more who the captain (of the table was). Benger's neighbor folded and the Canadian GPL commentator raked in the chips.

"45,000" shouted Benger as we asked him how much he was playing while he got back to his table, "And a dream!" we heard him continue in the background.
