The  inaugural $1,100 Platinum Stack drew 384 entries across two starting flights, crushing its $250k GTD and generating $372,480, which was finally distributed amongst the top 49 players. Bennett earned her seat into this event for just $250, and survived Day 1 in the middle of the pack. Day 2 saw 49 players and went even better for Bennett. By the time the field whittled down to the final table, she had the massive chip lead.

Dessiree Bennett began the final table in a thundering fashion by eliminating Samuel Kim in ninth place and then sending Sean Byars in seventh place. Eliminations continued and a deal was reached during the four-handed play. As Bennett was the chip leader, she was declared the winner. She took home the title and $49,199, while Steve Blackmon, Chad Roedersheimer, and Juan Mubarak took home payouts of $48,675, $41,735 and $40,891 respectively, as part of the four-way deal.

Expressing her feelings, Bennett  said, “This is my first trophy,” said Bennett. “So we’ll find a really nice place for it, because we love the Hard Rock. They always have great tournaments, and we really love it here.”
