If you are bench bleeding the master cylinder and get no pressure whatsoever then the master cylinder is bad. It could have rolled one of the internal o-rings on the plunger, letting all the fluid to move past when you press the plunger.

The best way to check it, is after it is what you think "Bench Bled", pull both lines off the master cylinder and install BRASS plugs (I have had plastic plugs blow out). If the pedal is not hard, the Master Cylinder has failed.
