Hickey Sucks Chips From Benson

Travis Hickey from Indiana bought into the Main Event with his own money. He didn't win in, he wasn't loaned the money, and he's not here to fold.

After Gary Benson put in a raise to 1,700, Hickey reraised to 5,000 by tossing one orange chip out in the middle. Benson tried to talk to Hickey and get some information out of him, but Hickey just shot some banter right back at Benson. Benson then reraised to 13,700.

Hickey said, "I put you on ace-king suited."

Benson didn't say a word and then Hickey said, "I didn't come here to fold," as he tossed in his chips.

Benson rolled over {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and Hickey held {7-Spades} {7-Clubs}.

Hickey stood up and said, "Why else would he put me all in?" referencing his read that Benson held ace-king.

The board ran out {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} {J-Spades} {6-Diamonds} and Hickey would double up to 25,000.
