Benny Chen is trying to go back-to-back in the Second Chance, as he won this very same event during the Playground Poker Fall Classic just last November. He has just taken over the chip lead here in heads-up play after winning a considerable pot, although stacks are still fairly close.
Benny button-raised to 40K, and called the 3bet of Richard worth 140K. Richard lead out for 165K on the board, and Benny made the call. On a turn, Richard check-called a bet of 228K. Richard checked once again on the river, and Benny moved all-in. Richard tanked for a moment, muttered some words to himself, and finally let go of his hand.
Benny Chen – 1.9 million chips
Richard Edwin Mask – 1.3 million chips
