Katz: / /
Benson: / /

Aaron Katz and Gary Benson have been feuding a bit for the better part of the day, and on at least one occasion have exchanged some heated words over some etiquette issues. In a recent pot, they took to the arena once again, this time with Benson completing and Katz making it two bets. Benson called.

"Here we go again," Benson said. "Yep, here we go," he said upon seeing his fourth street card.

Benson called bets from Katz on every street all the way down to seventh where both players checked. Katz turned over for a pair of queens and that was good to take down the pot.

Benson said something after the hand about having a big draw and missing everything, but Katz just nodded and raked in the pot.
