Benson Checks Back and Hits

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Gary Benson opened to 1,200 in middle position and got a couple of callers.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and Benson bet about 2,500. Only the big blind called, with a late-position player folding. Both remaining players checked the {2-Diamonds} turn, and the river was the {3-Clubs}. The big blind bet 3,500, and Benson thought for about 15 seconds before splashing in a call.

The big blind showed {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for top two, but Benson had {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a flush.
