$250 No Limit Hold’em Black Chip Bounty
Blinds: 3k/6k/1k ante

All three players pushed chips around the table in a series of big hands. Each took their time atop the leaderboard with a significant double up but we almost had a winner in one huge hand.

Steven Bennett opened the action to 24,000 on the button and Richard Kessler called in the small blind. Man Le responded with a three-bet to 40,000 from the small blind and Bennett called the bet. Kessler went from a caller to a raiser when he shoved all-in for less than 100,000 which prompted Le to moved all-in over the top.

Bennett was conflicted and finally folded face up then cursed his play when Kessler showed and Le . Le hit the flop but Kessler came from behind with the turn. Kessler doubled once again on the river to get back in it.

They decided on an impromptu 10-minute break and will return shortly.

Steven Bennett – 403,000
Richard Kessler – 257,000
Man Le – 114,000
