When do they sleep?

Benyamine's full house triumphed over Antonius' two pair.

By Sean Lind

Even playing as many WSOP events as they can, players are still finding the time to put in sessions of high-stakes PLO.

One of the most recent battles to go down replays a familiar tune of strife between Patrik Antonius and David Benyamine. In their latest session together they had been exchanging pots aplenty, with the largest reaching just over $53k.

Three of the six players on the table were sitting out as this hand went down, keeping down their chances of being collateral damage.
