During an evening heads-up battle of $1000/$2000 Limit Hold’em, Matt “Hoss_TBF” Hawrilenko beat David Benyamine one too many times it seems. They started off playing two games on Full Tilt Poker tables Mirasol and Harlin. After dropping $40K in 30 minutes of play on Harlin, Benyamine stuck to one table as they continued battling for another 40 minutes. However, the results were the same on Mirasol as Hawrilenko raked in another $160K in winnings. The $200K loss after just 274 hands against his skillful opponent would leave Benyamine questioning his game selection. Benyamine promised never to play Hawrilenko again. But everyone knows what happened the last time Benyamine vowed to quit playing.
