Benton Delivers Cowen Knockout

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In the first few hands of Day 2, Will Benton and WSOP bracelet winner Robert Cowen got involved in a juicy heads up all-in situation.

Robert Cowen: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Will Benton: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} to ship Cowen's remaining 140,000 chips to Benton, who surged ahead to the 400,000-chip mark.

Cowen, who won the 2021 $3,000 Pot Limit Omaha event, shrugged and said he should have arrived 10 minutes late.
