Ziigmund massacres Benyamine at 7-Game

By: Sean Lind

It was an absolute slaughter last night on Full Tilt's high-stakes tables as the action-crazed Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies banked over $1 million in profits.

Ever since the bulk of the high-stakes online action moved to the 7-Game tables on Full Tilt, we've been seeing players have some of the biggest sessions of the year.

Of Sahamies $1.01 million dollar profit last night, $816k of it came from crushing 7-Game. The million dollar night more than doubles Sahamies profits for the year at $1.8 million.

One of the common themes seems to be David Benyamine taking the majority of the 7-Game losses. Last night, Benyamine and Brian Hastings combined for $1.1 million in losses, $681k of it belonging to the French pro.

Benyamine has lost almost $1.9 million at the 7-Game tables this year, just $60k behind the biggest 7-Game loser: David Oppenheim.

It was also a big night for Tom Dwan, who in addition to making $100k playing Pot-Limit Omaha, added another $278k at 7-Game, putting him just $50k short Phil Ivey and in third place for total online profits on the year.

The top spot currenly belongs to Ashton "theASHMAN103" Griffin.

Although Ivey managed to win $136k on the 7-Game tables, he lost $200k on playing PLO, putting him down $64k for the night.

The regular suspects also made it out for some 7-Game action including: Di "Urindanger" Dang ($93k), Griffin ($77k), Chau Giang ($47k), Matt Hawrilenko ($26k), Oppenheim (-$33k) and Daniel "FakeSky" Alaei (-$188k).
