We had to do a double take walking by Table 47, Seat 6.

“I bet you thought I busted,” Steven Bennett laughed.

Turns out, he did. As we reported earlier, Bennett hit the rail at the hands of tablemate Jerry Silva. As the structure permits, Bennett rebought, played a few hands at a new table, then lo and behold, was moved to the exact same seat he previously occupied.

“I have a feel things guy’s going to bust me twice,” Bennett said pointing to Silva.

Maybe so, but it hasn’t happened as of yet. Bennett’s stack totals 28,000.
