Bounty Offered, Bounty Claimed; Benson Eliminated

Gary Benson
Gary Benson
An unidentified person approached Gary Benson's table and put a bounty on his head. Benson was only sitting with 2,000 in chips at the time, but that didn't seem to matter to the money putter-upper.

"Drinks, food... whatever knocks him out!" the man announced.

Michael Dix took him up on the offer.

Benson opened with a raise from under-the-gun in what was his final hand. Action then folded around to Dix in the small blind who three-bet, and Benson called off his last 400 in chips:

Benson: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Dix: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The ensuing board ran out {5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} giving Dix two pair to knock Benson out of the tournament.

After the hand, Dix joked that it was the "free dinner" he was after.
