Benyamine back but eighty88 dominates
By Arthur Crowson
Few names carry as much weight in the online poker world as David Benyamine. After some time away from the game, the PLO expert is back to his old tricks.
The online world seems to have noticed; hundreds of thousands of dollars were traded back and forth in high-stakes PLO action yesterday night and early this morning.
Despite the fact the session included players like durrrr, MrSmokey1 and even Markus Golser at times, it was online player eighty88 who stole the show.
eighty88 went on the mother of all heaters and managed to rack up more than $400,000 by the end of the session, although he was down by substantial amounts at certain times of the day as well.
The verdict is still out on Benyamine, who appeared to finish up by about $100,000, but one thing is certain - no one gets a high-stakes PLO game going quicker than the man they call Benyamine.
