There were some large hands in the game with a $81,156 that ICallSoWhat won with a straight, Six high against HipHopNDontStop. There were a handful of other hands that were over $15k. I watched for about 60 hands and the final chip totals were:

• Moish5 ($7,998)
• Brian Hastings ($85,607)
• MrSmokey1 ($12,395)

David Benyamine ($155,021) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against CHUFTY ($0) “bought in for another $8k, KObyTAPOUT ($132,316), Eric Liu ($30,798), FakeSky ($12,597) and Urindanger ($36,100). It was a pretty fun game to watch before of the two deep stacks at the table. This didn’t scare the other players and made for a nice high stakes omaha game.

The largest hand of the day is when David Benyamine won with two pair, Aces and Queens and KObyTAPOUT mucked his cards. The pot was worth $71,997. When David Benyamine left the table he had $240,762.50. Other players at the table were OMGClayAiken with $35k, ICallSoWhat 12k and durrr with $8k.

One of the larger hands at the table was when Eric Liu had two pair, Sevens and Sixes but was beaten by Brian Hastings’ full house, Kings full of Sixes, the hand was worth $39,660. There were a couple other $8-$15k hands but the stakes were not as high as the $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha game I usually watch.

Brian Hastings who is now a full tilt poker professional who previously played under the account LucLongley played with $430k at the $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo game at Full Tilt Poker.com. Other players at the table were: David Benyamine ($11,600), (when I started watching the game) Brian Hastings ($391,963), DaFool ($91,686), Krp3_DM ($13,796), durrrr ($8,000) and thecranium ($27,790).

I wish I knew how much Brian Hastings bought in the game but I am guessing for less then $100k. One of the larger hands I saw Brian Hastings play was against DaFool. The pot was worth $60k and Hastings bet another $60k after the river that went uncalled by DaFool who folded his hand.

David Benyamine did not fair well in the game (update: lol…this changes) and in the time when I started watching Benyamine had $11.6k and ended up losing it all and buying in for another $8k. Well a couple hands later Benyamine won a couple hands and brought his total up to $27k.

After watching a little more then 50 hands David Benyamine did a complete turn around and ended with $67k while Brian Hastings went down but only by a bit to $420k.

When I sat down to watch the game Mike Matusow had about 17k. I then left for about two hours and when I got back his stack was $29k. I don’t have any hand histories for a lot of the hands…. only for the past 50 where Matusow already had $27k. There wasn’t much action in the last 50 hands and really not much to talk about.

At the table “Vero” $200/$400 Limit Omaha H/L table was was pcketchange ($8,978), Gholp ($7,665), Boosted J ($3,410.50), Genius28 ($7,595.50). Also, Robert Mizrachi joined the table with $8k.

Well after watching for awhile Mizrachi left and Mike Matusow stayed around $29k. The rest of the table:

• pcketchange ($11,243.50), is sitting out
• Mike Matusow ($29,587.50)
• Gholp ($8,859.50)
•  tommyboy83 ($5,797.50)
• Boosted J ($3,410.50)

Gus Hansen ($17,265.50) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against halibut2 ($72,447), natso2 ($13,788),Urindanger ($15,400), Eric Liu ($56,481) and Luck123 ($8,197). The table was “Eginton”, there were 2 other $200/$400 pot limit omaha hi games going on with Gus Hansen sitting at another one and Eric Liu and Benyamine playing at the other tables. I picked this table because like always it had the biggest average pot and everyone wants to see high stakes poker!

Well Gus Hansen ended up leaving the table and David Benyamine and  CHUFTY joined the table. The largest hand of the night went to Eric Liu beating David Benyamine with an eight high straight against Benyamine’s pair of aces. The pot was worth $111,383!

trex313 ($27,159) and durrrr ($55,139) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha at the “Eginton” 6-max table. Also sitting at the poker table was BlueWolff ($5,019), tommyboy83 ($9,097), patatino ($10,832.50), CHUFTY ($8,000).

The poker game had a lot of large hands with almost half the hands being at least $3-5k and almost a quarter of the hands had pots over $10k+. That may have been a slight exaggeration but not too much with the average hand $7879 with 65 H/hr.

Durrr won a large hand against CHUFTY when his Ace high flush beat CHUFY’s King high…The pot was worth $36,153.

Durrr and tommyboy83 ended up leaving the table and lets_TILT and OMGClayAiken took their places. After about 15 hands OMGClayAiken did exactly what Durrrr did to CHUFTy and won a hand with an Ace high flush against patatino who had a king high flush with the pot worth $49,820.

After about 75 hands the chip counts looked like:

• trex313 ($23,959.50)

• OMGClayAiken ($54,712)
• lets_TILT ($28,176)

The game was played at “Ano” a 6 max table at Full Tilt Poker.net. At the time there were 5 tables of $200/$400 going on with most of the players at multiple tables. I picked this one because players had the most money and all the full tilt pro’s online were sitting at the table.

This is the first game I have seen David Hastings play at Full Tilt Poker. He wasn’t messing around as he was sitting at 4 tables and playing heads up against Ziigmund in two of them.

After watching for awhile (50+ plus) chip counts were:

• OMGClayAiken ($28,764)
• KObyTAPOUT ($19,591)
• Brian Hastings ($121,318.50)
• ICallSoWhat ($15,281)

Gus Hansen won a hand worth $37,797 with an ace high flush against trex313 who mucked his hand after Hansen showed his hand. Another large hand was when LucLongley won a hand with a full house, Fives full of Threes and beat CHUFTY’s full house, Fours full of Threes! The pot was worth $46,466.

Well after about 25 hands Gus Hansen left the table. I watched for another 5 hands but decided I was done watching for the night.

Mike Matusow ($12,135) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against GulahPapyrus ($3,000), cmynuts ($15,970.50),  Brandon Adams ($12,716.30), is sitting out, extacymoney ($1,352) and regista8 ($3,233.50).

Well when I started watching Mike Matusow he began to have a bad run losing hand after hand. At one point he went down to $4k but then bought in for another $5,994.50. Which seemed to change his luck slightly as the next hand he won a modest pot worth $1,397…but it was more of a momentum changer then anything (or maybe thats just me trying to put a positive spin on a small victory for Matusow).

After watching 40 hands the chip counts were:

• GulahPapyrus ($3,372)
• cmynuts ($16,488.50)
• Krp3_DM ($1,900)
• Mike Matusow ($9,650)
•  extacymoney ($10,003)

For the record Brandon Adams never sat in when I was watching and left the table eventually.
