Gary Benson Takes Down Another

[user57954]

Gary Benson raises it up pre-flop to 1,800 and his opponent re-pops it to 5,400. Benson then re-raises to 12,000 and gets a call.

The flop brings {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

and Benson bets out 15,000 into the already healthy pot. His opponent thinks for a few moments and decides to commit his remaining 40,000 chips into the pot. Benson insta-calls and the biggest pot of the tournament is up for grabs:

Benson: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

Opponent:

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

The turn of {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and river of {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

leaves Benson with a mountain of chips and a huge lead over today's field.
