Several large banks on Full Tilt Poker were played again last night. The main characters were again Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey and David Benjamin.
All three stars did not perform very well at the tournament Festa al Lago stage of the World Poker Tour, and they had enough time to face off at the 500 $ / 1.000 $ no-limit hold'em tables. David Benjamin, despite ending his day in the red, still managed to win a big pot against Phil Ivey. Benyamine raised before the flop, Ivey reraised and Benyamine called. The flop comes J
-9
-Aand Phil made a bet again. Benjamin's stake on the turn was 8... Here Benjamin raised to Phil's bet. Phil called, as did Benjamin's next half-pot bet when the river was 5.
... The Frenchman showed the nut straight 10c-Qd and took the $ 391,999 pot.
However, Benjamin lost an even bigger pot against Patrik Antonius, who flopped J-10-8 played all-in. Benjamin calls with 10-9 and turned out to be an almost 2-to-1 favorite against Patrik Antonius' Kc-Qc. His lead still remained after the turn 2.but river A brought the victory to Patrick, who won a straight pot of $ 438,964.
The Finn played very strongly in the other hand against Benjamin. Having K-K, he just called the Frenchman's preflop raise. After Benjamin bet on the flop 2-10
-5 Patrick played all-in. Benjamin had top pair with top kicker A-10and he failed to throw it off. The turn and river didn't change anything, and the next $ 341,491 went to Antonius.
Phil Ivey, despite losing a large pot, ended his session in positive territory. He managed to take revenge from Benjamin with a beautiful "value" bet on the river. Chalkboard 8-A-9-Q-Q Ivey bet two-thirds of the pot with A-J after the Frenchman kept the initiative throughout the hand. Benjamin called and Ivy's top pair was enough to take the $ 176,499 pot.
