Robinson Ruling at the Moment

Just before dinner break, Nelson Robinson had pushed to the top of the leaderboard as the first player to half a million chips. Since we've returned, he's continue to pick up multiple small pots with preflop raises and three-bets, with his opponents not looking thus far to tangle with the big stack.

Just now Michael Bena — who is sporting a big stack of his own at the moment — opened from middle position, then let his hand go after a three-bet from the button by Robinson.
