WSOPE just started in London, so it was surprising to see this much of action online, especially at Full Tilt Poker. The most active player once again was David Benyamine, who continued his rollercoaster run by first winning some and then losing some, including a heads up match against theASHMAN103.

Here is some screenshots of the biggest pots of this weekends action.

David Benyamines aces held against Antonius and slaktarn:

Yesterday theASHMAN103 and David Benyamine met up again at the virtual felt to play two monster heads up sessions on three different tables! They played two $200/400 NLH HU tables and one $2k/4k Omaha hi/lo table. In the first session theASHMAN103, the man with the golden FTOPS champion jersey, won around $60k and in the second session he won over $120k!

TheASHMAN103 and Benyamine have played this sort of a heads up match previously with David being victorious on previous occasions. Here is pictures of the action from these sessions:

All the money goes in on the flop after David three bet his AK pre flop. No lucky card for David and theASHMAN103 takes down a $57k pot:

It seems like David can’t get away from his gutshot straight draw with over cards:
