$2000 / $4000 Mixed games at Full Tilt

October 21st, 2009

The super high limit games were ocne again in full effect as three of the biggest named pros in the business sat down and played the big mixed game. The $2000/$4000 7-Game went off with three of the Full Tilt Poker Red Pros sitting at two different tables. Patrik Antonius, Richard Ashby, and David Benyamine went head to head and all had stacks on both tables and the first hand we picked up was a hand between David Benyamine and Richard Ashby, and it was taken down by Benyamine, who took the pot of nearly $30,000 on the river when Ashby laid his hand down.

The next hand occured in the No Limit Hold ‘Em round. Patrik Antonius made a min raise on the button, and Richard Ashby moved all in out of the big blind. Antonius didn’t take very long to make the call, showing Ace Queen, but Ashby’s two kings held up and took down the pot.

Antonius took some of the money Beyamine took of Ashby when he made a bet of over $20,000 on the river.

The next pot came in the Limit Omaha H/L stage of the game, and took place between David Benyamine and Richard Ashby. Ashby bet the whole way, and got the call the entire time from Benyamine. Ashby’s straight qualified for the high and low, giving him the pot.

A bet on the turn was good enough for Benyamine to take down a big three way pot in the Limit Hold ‘Em round when both Antonius and Ashby made the fold on the turn in the following hand.

On the very next hand of Limit Hold ‘Em, Benyamine made another bet, this time on the river, and got Richard Ashby off his hand, winning another pot of over $30,000 in this hand.

Chopped pots usually don’t gain players much of a profit, but a monster pot brewed in the following hand, and although Patrik Antonius and David Benyamine split the pot, they both profited over $10,000 of Richard AShby’s money.

Patrik Antonius made a huge call on the end in the following hand, to win a pot of worth of over $40,000 from David Benyamine.

The next hand, which took place during the Razz level, saw Richard Ashby triple up through both Patrik Antonius and David Benyamine, tripling him to over $50,000.

Ashby continued his upswing when he took the following pot, worth over $30,000, from David Benyamine.

To what should come to no surprise, Richard Ashby took down our final hand of the evening, making a bet of $4000 and getting Patrik Antonius to lay down his hand, and ship the $30,000 pot to Ashby. On the night, Ashby grinded his way from a short stack to a stack of over $100,000 on one table, and accumulated a stack of over $80,000 on the other table, making him the clear winner on the night.
