Griffin Benger is not your garden variety of online grinder. He’s right at the top of the tree: a premium, blue ribbon, online purebred. Benger, who’s perhaps better known by his online name ‘Flush_Entity’, held the number one spot in online rankings in the latter half of last year, which should come as little surprise given that he’s won more than $4m in online tournaments.
Benger’s results on the live circuit have been a little less conspicuous with just $172,407 to his name before this win. This result will boost that number considerably and it is surely just a matter of time before Benger makes a big final table in the flesh (not to mean naked, but live).
Benger was thrilled and will be looking to spin that win up in the £10,300 High Roller, which starts today at 4pm (14 March).
Shipped it for £29,700! Chopped w/ Greenwood and played for £3K and the trophy. Feels great :), #teamivey twitter.com/GriffinBenger/…
