David Benyamine and Patrik Antonius are busy playing at the World Series of Poker. Benyamine,who is engaged to the lovely Erica Schoenberg, finished seventh in the No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Lowball tournament w/rebuys, earning nearly $60,000 for the effort. He's also holding his own in Event #28, a PLO tourney w/rebuys.

Antonius, the Finnish superstar, started the WSOP strong this year. He made the final table of the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Tournament, which was good for $124,080. He also cashed in twenty-seventh position in the $5,000 Limit/No Limit Hold'em Event, adding another $12,483 to his lifetime tournament earnings.

Of course, that would be enough for some players. Not for Antonius or Benyamine. The duo is still hitting the high stakes online tables hard. This weekend, Benyamine emerged victorious from a five-figure pot with a full house, jacks full of queens.

Here is the play by play:
