It was not even ten days ago when patatino, a rumored ‘fish’ took down a $610,000 pot off of trex313 at Full Tilt Poker. More than a decade prior to that, the online world waited for a pot to get that big. Perhaps when programmers conceived of the first internet poker rooms, they didn’t even envision high stakes games ever getting this large. Perhaps…they only dreamed of it.
Now, David Benyamine, who has had a fantastic 2008 both online and off with his breakthrough World Series of Poker bracelet and a final table appearance at the WPT Bellagio Cup IV, has raked in his very first $600,000 plus pot. Benyamine took $605k off of pal and fellow high stakes pro, Patrik Antonius, a recent runner-up at the Full Tilt World Heads-Up PLO $25,000 Championship.
