Sahameis Books $88K Pot-Limit Omaha Win Over Benyamine

High stakes professionals Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and David Benyamine met up on Full Tilt Poker table Oboe to play $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha. It was a battle that Sahamies dominated as he raked in the top eight hands of the match. A final $92K+ pot would have Benyamine leave the table with an $88K+ loss in 125 hands. Right after he left, “Cogaz” wanted some action, so he joined Sahamies on table Phys for a thrilling heads-up battle. Two hours into the match, “Cogaz” was sitting comfortable with a big $136K+ lead. However, as play continued, Sahamies would skillfully make his way back into the game. After almost four hours of play, Sahamies had actually come back to finish with a miniscule $400 win over “Cogaz”.
