One of the first hands I watched was between Durrrr and Allen Cunningham. They were playing Omaha Hi/Lo and Allen Cunningham had three of a kind jacks against Durrrr’s seven high straight. The pot was worth $58,809.50. Allen Cunningham did win the side pot worth $4,000 but definitely took a hit to his overall chip stack.

Another large hand later in the game was between Allen Cunningham and Eli Elezra. They were playing Limit Stud Hi. Eli Elezra was doing most of the raising through out the hand until the last betting round when Allen Cunningham re-raised twice. When they finally showed their cards Allen Cunnignham had a eight high straight and Eli Elezra mucked losing the pot worth $35,497.

After about 100 hands the chip totals looked like:

AllenCunningham ($78,607.25)
LoLiNa ($20,000)
Eli Elezra ($27,605.25)
Patrik Antonius ($23,193.50)
durrrr ($74,323.50)

The table was a good one to watch with the average pot over $10k and 46% Plr/Flp and 65 hands per hour. Most of the large hands were in the 20k range until a monster hand between ICallSoWhat and durrrr. The board was [4d Js 7c Kh 6h] giving Durrrr a straight on the river with a hand of [8s 9d Jd 5d] against ICallSoWhat’s two pair, Jacks and Sevens (which he made on the flop). Durrrr raked in the monster pot worth $123,174!

At the end of about 75 hands here was the chip count:

Durrrr ($16,037), David Benyamine ($111,160) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi at Full Tilt.com. Later in the game ArmenH1 joined the table.

The third hand I watched was a good one with the board showing [8d 2d 8s 8c 7c]. Durrr played the board and had three of a kind eights while David Benyamine had a full house eights and pocket kings.  Durrrr was committed to the hand and went all-in which was called by David Benyamine who raked in the pot worth $33,273.50.

Another big hand was when Durrrr had a full house, Eights full of Sevens while David Benyamine had a full house, Twos full of Eights. Durrrr raked in the pot worth $32,398.50. There were a couple other hands in the teens but nothing as exciting as the two hands I talked about.
Durrrr had a solid run in the next 40 or so hands and when the table ended the chip stacks were:

• Durrrr ($36,994)
• David Benyamine ($121,192)

OMGClayAiken ($39,289), Cole South ($103,736.50), Markus Golser ($79,647) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi. Also at the table was Urindanger ($73,852), patatino ($77,386) and applsgirl ($32,831). Durrr soon replaced OMGClayAiken sitting down with $40k.

The forth hand that I watched was a good one between applsgirl and Cole South. The flop of [5s 8c Th] seemed good for applsgirl who had  [Ac 8d Td Ad] Aces and tens and knowing that she also has one of the eights. Cole South had  [Jd 9d Js Qs] and applsgirl put pressure by going on after the flop. Cole South called and got a Q to hit the straight with the turn-river cards:  [Qc] [5d]. The pot was worth $61,259…soon after the hand applsgirl added $20k after going broke on the hand.

There were a couple other $20k-$40k hands but nothing too crazy happened. John Juanda joined the table which brought some life when a couple other players left. After about 40 hands the chip totals were:

• durrrr ($83,189)
• Markus Golser ($91,678)
• applsgirl ($38,598)
• John Juanda ($51,794)

David Benyamine ($108,372.50), durrrr ($18,295) and ICallSoWhat ($7,400) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi. The table was “Pantheon” a 6 max table at Full Tilt. Also at the table but soon left was tsarrast.

This was an awesome table with David Benyamine and Durrr never afraid to go toe to toe in some high stakes hands. They did not disappoint with some huge hands worth $50k+.

One of the hands was worth $50,992 and both of the players had a Ten high flush. But Durrr had a 8d, 7d while Benyamine had 6d, 3d. A tough way to lose if you are David Benyamine.

Well David Benyamine didn’t wait long to reclaim his money and more. The largest hand of the table and one of the largest I have seen in awhile while watching Omaha Hi was played a couple hands later. David Benyamine won on the river with a five high straight against Durrr’s two pair that he hit on the flop. The hand worth $100,982!

The $100k hand pretty much wrapped up the table and a couple hands later all the players were sitting out. The chip count at this time was:

• David Benyamine ($128,304.50)
• durrrr ($7,648)
• ICallSoWhat ($20,284)

Mike Matusow ($76,759.25) played $500/$1000 HORSE at the Pineview table at Full Tilt.com. Other players are the table were Seat 1: EazyPeazy ($16,961.50), SteveSung ($21,579.50), Mark Weitzman ($62,681.75), Hoss_TBF ($23,837.40), cmynuts ($11,397), Lacey Duvalle ($10,000), CHUFTY ($90,593.25), and later Durrr.

I watched 50 hands and then left for about an hour and came back and the table was still active. So that is why there will be a large unexplained gap in the chip amount.

When I came back Mike Matusow had half the money that he had when I began watching. I went over the hand histories and there weren’t any large hands. There were tons of hands that were in the range of $4-$10k but really nothing higher. Overall it was a high stakes game without “really” high stakes.

Chip Totals:

• SteveSung ($0), is sitting out
• Sassi ($16,989.50)
• Mike Matusow ($30,871.50)
• Hoss_TBF ($22,344.05)
• durrrr ($47,581)
• CHUFTY ($107,224)

Phil Ivey Played heads-up against Durrr in the $500/$1000 at the Ivey Thunderdome played at Full Tilt Poker.com. When I started watching the table Phil Ivey  had $193,994 while durrrr $55,999.

Phil Ivey controlled the whole game and won a majority of the large hands. While I watched only 50 hands Durrr had bought in for $100k on top of the $55,999 that he had when I started watching.

The match finally ended when Phil Ivey won a monster pot worth $115,396.50 holding [Js 7d 5d 6c] against Durrr’s [Ks 5s 5c 7c] and the board was: [4c 5h Jh Kd 8s]. Phil Ivey won with an eight high straight against durrrr’s three 5’s.

trex313 ($40,000) and durrrr ($23,548) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi at Full Tilt Poker.net. Also at the table was Luck123 ($8,000) halibut2 ($23,940), The_Houdini ($22,594) and MSampoerna ($23,105.50).

Most of the hands at the table were over $10k (slight exaggerations). The actual average pot was $8592. It was a pretty solid game with lots of hands. Durrrr beat MSampoerna with a flush and won almost $25k in the third hand that I watched. Durrr then lost with trip aces against Luck123 who had luck on his side and also had trip aces but with a king kicker. The hand was worth $19,191 (Definitely a cooler hand).

Awhile later Durrrr lost against halibut2 with two pair (Aces and Kings) when halibut2 held pocket kings with another king on the board for trip kings. The pot was worth  $49,172.

The game slowed down as trex313 and The_Houdini sat out…the final chip totals were:

• durrrr ($16,700)
• THE__D__RY ($7,600)
• trex313 ($66,789.50), is sitting out

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. 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.
