Benson Strikes Again

[user57954]

Three players saw a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

, including Gary Benson. Benson checks, player one bets 1,000 into the pot and player two calls. Benson then check-raises to 4,300 with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

and both opponents call, one for the remainder of his chips.

The turn is {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and Benson fires another 7,000 into a dry side pot to drive out the second player and get the pot heads-up with the short stack.

Benson flips his card saying "I need a heart..." but when the short-stack reveals {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

, Benson is a little shocked and has to correct himself "...oh no I don't, just no eight!". The {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

hits on the river and Benson adds to his impressive stack of chips.
