David Benyamine ($62,527) Robert Mizrachi ($38,355), Brian Townsend ($39,294) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi at Full Tilt.com at the poker table “Ano”. Also playing at the poker table was CHUFTY ($8,000), Da Munsta ($46,813.50), howisitfeellike ($9,000).

There were a lot of hands that were over $25k which definitely made the game interesting. There was one large hand between Da Munsta and David Benyamine where the board showed [5h Th 9c 7d Ac]. Da Munsta had a jack high straight with a hand of [7h 8d Jd Ah]. Benyamine lost the hand with a 10 high straight…Tough loss especially since the pot was worth $102,012.

There were definitely some large hands and the average pot was $10k which is insane. They only had 79 H/hr which is less then usual but makes sense because of the large high stakes hands.

After watching 40+ hands here is the chip count:

• CHUFTY ($21,382)
• Da Munsta ($98,807), is sitting out
• it is anna ($8,000)
• Brian Townsend ($83,484.50)

Also at the table was Brian Hastings ($23,050), EazyPeazy ($26,567.90) and Hoss_TBF ($30,266.75). This table had a lot of big name high stakes players and they lived up to their names with a ton of high stakes hands.

Hoss_TBF kept losing as he was playing with only a pair and kept going up against stronger hands. One hand he went up against a straight with only a pair of three’s. John Juanda won with the straight and took the pot worth $8.5k. Then again against David Benyamine he had a pair of aces and went up against Benyamines two pair. That pot was worth $14,597.

Finally Hoss_TBF changed his luck when he played a hand against Da Musta. They capped the betting at $2k before the flop. After the flop Hoss_TBF bet the whole time and was called by Da Munsta till the river. The community cards were [6s 5s Qd 5c] [Qc] and Hoss_TBF had an AQ in his hand and won the pot worth $9,747.

David Benyamine won a big hand against tikmann21 who flopped trip Kings. He had one KJ in his hand and two kings and a queen were on the board. This would be a good hand if not for David Benyamine who had pocket queens and had flopped a full house. Benyamine won the hand and received the pot worth $11,741.

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.

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.

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.

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!
