In some late night heads-up poker action, high stakes professionals David Benyamine and Matt “Hoss_TBF” Hawrilenko decided to play a half Limit Hold’em and half H.O.R.S.E. game. That is, they would play 50 hands of H.O.R.S.E. — 10 of each game –, followed by another 50 hands of Limit Hold’em. Needless to say, Hawrilenko controlled the Hold’em portion of the game, and even booked a win during the Omaha Hi/Lo games. In the rest of the games, however, Benyamine was able to accumulate over $37K in winnings. They ended up play two rounds of the game that would total up to 200 hands. With Hawrilenko’s $22K in Hold’em winnings, Benyamine would finish with just a total $15K+ win over his opponent.
