With the structure as it is for this event, you don't really expect to see too many 100-200 big blind pots across the field in the early stages of the day. We happened to be over by Table 4 as one unfolded, with five players calling a 1,400 raise (pre), heading to a flop of 10
♥ 3♣ Q
♦. Richard Bengis (Stormville, NY) would lead for 2,200 (first to act), and then watch as one opponent shoved for just over 5,200, and another three-bet to 25,000 (having everyone in the hand covered) after two folds. Bengis would announce himself all-in, and after the three-better called, the hands would be tabled. Richard turned over 3♦ 3♥, having flopped bottom, set, and was up against Q
♥ 9
♥ (shorter shove) and K
♦ K♣ (player putting Bengis at risk).
The turn would bring the 9♠, giving outs to one of his opponents, but after the 8♠ fell on the river, Bengis would be safely home with the win. The dealer then counted down his stack, which was exactly 32,525, and he would scoop in a pot worth close to 70,000. Bengis has just over $4,000 in career tournament earnings, all from the Northeast (Foxwoods and Turning Stone), and is on the right track towards his first Florida tournament score.
Richard Bengis - 70,000
