"February $100,000" (Flight 1C): "Someone Should Get A Present"

"February $100,000"
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 99

Joel Benson (Blaine, FL) is an Ohio native, who is looked for his second ever recorded cash here at the Isle Poker Room (and Florida in general).

Passing Table 1, Marc Sacheli would be all-in for 1,300, and at risk after the player next to act made the call.  Sacheli ended up winning the hand, in what seemed like a standard "short stack being called by a player who could afford to" situation.  The very next hand, that same player that called Sacheli's all-in, three-bet shoved (for 24,000) over an open from Zaki Lichaa.  

The table talk then began to make more sense, as the player had to leave for some reason, and was just shoving blind every hand.  "Someone should get a gift, rather than me just blind out," the unknown player said, with Joel Benson (Blaine, FL) reshoving next to act (for over 50,000).  Players folded behind, including the original opener (Zaki), and the hands would then be tabled.  Benson was ahead with A K♠, against the K 7 of our unknown player, and would hold up through the runout.  Benson did get awarded the 24,000 chip "present," and now sits with over 80,000.

Joel Benson - 83,000 (166bb)
