Over on Full Tilt Poker table RailHeaven, high stakes professionals Patrik Antonius and David Benyamine were playing heads-up $500/$1000 No-Limit Hold’em. Almost two and a half hours into the action, fellow big gamer Phil Ivey would join while Benyamine continued a rush that saw him up nearly a quarter million dollars at one point. But Antonius would soon turn that all around. Over the next two hours of play, he played several big pots against Benyamine and would end up with a $348K+ win through 503 total hands played. Ivey managed to sneak in a $70K+ win in his 264 hands, while Benyamine left the table with a big $419K+ loss.
