Michael Bennington
Michael Bennington made a game effort to battle at the Event 91 final table but after losing multiple small pots in three-handed play, succumbed to Travis Lauson.
Lauson raised to 500,000 over a Bennington limp and Bennington shoved for about 1,800,000 total. Lauson called with A♦K♣ and had a significant edge against Bennington’s A♣Q♥. The 10♦8♥7♥6♦J♣ board shipped the pot to Lauson, sending Bennington to the rail. He earns $28,355 for his podium finish.
After Lauson eliminated Bennington, he and German Zaga agreed to a heads up deal. The two players ran the numbers and locked themselves into earning at least $44,081. The two players left $12,000 total to play for and have commenced heads up play. The chip counts, deal figures, and original payouts are below.
Lauson – 6,390,000 ($46,176)
