PrtectYaNeck dealing out beatings

He's so dreamy!

By Sean Lind

Or more accurately, the advice-filled username should read "PrtectYaStack." It might be a shock, but people are still playing high-stakes NL Hold'em these days.

In the latest high-stakes bout of poker on Full Tilt, PrtectYaNeck has claimed the two biggest pots of the day, both being over $100,000 in size. The table is not a soft one by any standards:

Seat 1: Patrik Antonius
Seat 3: David Benyamine
Seat 4: whitelime
Seat 6: PrtectYaNeck

The largest pot of the day, as tracked by the PL.com MarketPulse biggest pots section, was a pretty standard Hold'em pot to be honest:
