After the exhausting WSOP online poker was running hot during August. Full Tilt Poker was of course the main field for the action.
David Benyamine´s month was a rollercoaster. French highroller lost over 1,6 million dollars in Omaha Hi/Lo - but he took those losses back in Pot-limit Omaha by winning almost the exact amount. Benyamine lost less than $-100k in NL Holdem, but after winning $778k in H.O.R.S.E, you can say that after all August was pretty good for him. Benyamine was the 6th biggest overall winner in August.
