When do they sleep?

David Benyamine
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.
