FinddaGrind ($81,187.50) played $1000/$2000 Limit Stude Hi against gamble up77 ($30,092.50). The average pot was $4143 with 180 H/hr. It looked like FinddaGrind would soon have all the money in the heads up match but mid game Gamble up777 won a timely 20k and $16k pot. Soon after Gamble lost a $18k pot which hurt his chip stack and he had $18k while FinddaGrind had $92k.
Gus Hansen ($35,996), David Benyamine ($33,997) and I_cheat_u ($30,000) played $1000/$2000 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo.
The game had an average pot of $10k with 95 H/hr. Every hand was rather large with many going to the river and being around $20k. The game also sped up when David Benyamine sat out while Gus Hansen and I_cheat_u battled it out heads up. When I lef the table Hansen had $20k while I_cheat_u had $26k.
David Benyamine ($25,547.50) played against Genius28 ($57,248) in a $200/$400 NL Hold-em game. I was able to see 12 hands before the table ended when Benyamine left. The reason was because he was busted by Genius28 when his AJ lost to 10k. Genius28 went all-in after the flop holding a pair of 10’s and Benyamine called hoping that an AJ would come down in the turn or river. It didn’t happen and Genius28 raked in a pot worth $60,691.50.
David Benyamine ($16,400) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against jumper17 ($15,600). David Benyamine was behind after the first hand and it looked like he would lose his buy-in with about $7k left. But he won a $14,394.50 pot with a full house against jumper17’s two pair. It looked like things may be changing but it didn’t last long in the very next hand Benyamine lost an all-in against jumper17 when his two pair lost to jumper17’s higher to pair, the pot worth $28,788.50.
John Juanda ($10,000), Gus Hansen ($97,332), David Benyamine ($20,894), Niki Jedlicka ($46,023), pokerinvestcouk ($28,579) and FinddaGrind ($57,454) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi. It was the high stakes regulars all on one table. It was a great game with Gus Hansen winning some huge pots and David Benyamine sat out after losing a $48k hand to Gus Hansen (Flush against Two Pair). With all the high stakes players in the game it was rather slow. There were a lot of 2-3k hands and a couple low 7-9k hands but rarely anything above that.
After sitting out for about 20 hands David Benyamine decided to sit back in. Well it turned out to be a bad move as he lost a $37k hand when his jacks lost to Gus Hansen’s queens. David Benyamine once again sat out after losing the hand. He sat out one more hand and then eventually left the table. Gus Hansen continued his aggressive play when he beat Aeron73 for a pot worth $14,441 when his pair of aces beat Kings.
When I started watching John Juanda had $10k and when I left he built his stack up to $17,790. He didn’t play in many hands but when he did had a great win percentage.
Chris Ferguson ($1,611) was playing heads up $50/$100 Limit Razz against fgt4w ($1,434). This is the first time I have seen Chris Ferguson playing at a poker table on Full Tilt Poker. I don’t know if he has been playing poker lately but it definitely hasn’t been online poker. This wasn’t very high stakes compared to other pro’s but was still interesting to watch.
FinddaGrind ($41,799.50) and Genius28 ($42,798.50) played $200/$400 No Limit Hold-em. Genius28 won a couple large hands including a $83,973.50 pot when his straight beat FinddaGrind’s Ace high?!? He must have thought Genius was bluffing when he went all-in because FinddaGrind called with only ace high and a board showing [3c Tc Js Ks 2h]. FinddaGrinda wasn’t done yet when he bought in for another $40k.
It wasn’t FinddaGrinda’s day because he lost another huge hand when he was chasing a flush with [2s 3s] against Genius28’s [6h 6c] flopped 3 of a kind 6’s, the board showed [Qd 4s 6s Kc] [9h]. The pot was worth $91,596.50! When I left the game Genius28 had $145k and FinddaGrinda bought in for another $40k.
Robert Mizrachi ($26,997) played against Idontgiveashi ($24,304.50) in a $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi game. The game didn’t last long as Robert Mizrachi went on a streak winning two $20k hands. He then sat out and Idontgiveashi left the table after a couple minutes of waiting to play. I guess Robert Mizrachi was happy with what he had won and decided not to gamble with his winnings.

luckexpress10 was not done and bought in for an additional $60k. luckexpress10 then went on to win a huge pot worth $93,199 when his 48 beat trext313’s 69 with the board showing [5d 7h 4s 4h 9h] .
David Benyamine and jidenok played at the $1000/$2000 Limit Omaha H/L game. It is a 6 person table but they were the only two sitting down. They each bought in for $40k. Jidenok early in the game was doing very well and at one point had $56 while Benyamine had $23k.
David Benyamine then won a couple hands to bring his stack closer to $30k. This did not last long as jidenok went on another streak and got up to $66k while Benyamine had $12k. Well it didn’t take long before jidenok was able to grab the initial $80k that was on the table and Benyamine decided to buy in again with $40k more.
