$1,452

Dave Bennett gets a double-up to take the chip lead heads up with Jason Lux, but loses most of them back in a huge pot.

Lux and Bennett are all in on a flop of Kc6h5h.

Bennett:Jh7h (flush draw)
Lux: KdQh (top pair)

Turn: Qc (Lux, two pairs)

River: As

Bennett misses his flush and ships a 362k double-up, leaving himself with just 40k. He’s out a few hands later when his Kd5d doesn’t improve against Lux’s Ks6h.

Bennett finishes runner-up for $1,452.

This is Bennett’s second cash of the series after finishing 29th in the Championship Event for $6,779.

“I was trying to win the guitar to be honest with you,” says Bennett, who’s been a full time pro for four years.
