Benyamine Drops $265K In Heads-Up Action

Full Tilt pro David Benyamine was two tabling a couple of heads-up $200/$400 NL Hold’em matches against “traheho” and “Genius28″ on Full Tilt tables Vasari and Pimento. It didn’t work out so well for him. After taking a quick $16K buy-in from “MissFabry”, the high stakes Frenchman dropped over $194K to “traheho” and another $86K+ to “Genius28″ in just a hour of play. He managed to win just one and chop another of the ten biggest pots he played resulting in a total $265K+ loss.
