Benson Stays Alive
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Gary Benson liked his hand enough to get himself all in preflop, and he found himself up against the table's biggest stack, Guillermo Castillo.
Gary Benson: A♥7♠ 
Guillermo Castillo: 10♥9♥
Castillo's cards were live all the way to the river, but he was unable to hit on the 5♠6♦Q♠2♣K♥ runout, giving Benson a much-needed double up without putting too much of a dent in Castillo's stack.
