Ilari Sahamies and David Benyamine clashed on two Full Tilt Poker 7-game tables. Benyamine was able to dominate at the beginning, but in the end it was Sahamies who was able to win it all.

Benyamine’s start was great in the heads up battle and he was able to win in Hi/Lo games quite much. After the game changed to NL Hold’em Sahamies squeezed a nice $247k pot. Sahamies held Jacks against Benyamine’s Tens and “Ziigmund” started to dominate. Benyamine had Tens on the other table as well, but it was Sahamies who won the pot ($90k) again. “Ziigmund” hit his three-outer with AT and Sahamies was already over $300k up.
Benyamine was reloading small sums and Sahamies was up $150k-$200k for a long time. Sometimes it seemed that Benyamine had his whole bankroll on the two tables.

Sahamies and Benyamine played almost 900 hand before the heads up was over. Sahamies crushed Benyamine on both tables and sat out with a nice $683k stack, so “Ziigmund” won over $400k from Benyamine. Does Benyamine’s break up with Erica Schoenberg tilt him that much, or is David just running bad?
