Bubble Bursts in Seniors
Gary Benson was the player to bubble the Seniors High Roller, as he lost all of his chips across two hands.
Hand 1:
Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between Gary Benson in early position and Raj Vohra on the button. With a board reading 8♣4♠8♥8♠ Vohra bet 10,000, and Benson called.
The river card was the A♣, Benson checked, and Vohra bet 45,000. After some thought, Benson called only to get shown 9♦8♦ for quads.
Hand 2:
On the very first deal of hand-for-hand play, Benson was forced all in from the big blind. With just 10,000 in his stack, there was only 2,000 ante in the middle to play for. He knew he was in trouble when the very first player to act, Guillermo Castillo, raised to 18,000. The second player to act was Ron West, who then shoved for 177,000. Castillo didn't make the call.
Gary Benson: 4♥4♦ 
Ron West: Q♠Q♣
The J♦3♥2♦ flop gave Benson a couple of backdoor outs, however that route was shut down by the 2♠ turn. He couldn't boat up on the 6♦ river, and there was a cheer in the room as the players found out that they'd cashed.
