An interesting (and large) pot just went down between David Benyamine and Durrrr (Tom Dwan) on Full Tilt. Both very successful high stakes cash players.
They were playing $200/$400 PLO
The money went in on a flop of Td 2c 4s
Benyamine held a not so strong Qh Qd 2h 4c (Bottom 2 pair, with draw possibilities to a spiked set, or to a boat)
Durrrr held a nice looking draw-only hand of Ad 5s 3s 6d (a wide wrap for a straight draw)
I ran the odds here :
Basically its a 50/50 coin flip, with durrrr actually a very marginal favourite
The turn came 8d, the river came Qc, and Benyamine scooped a very nice $375,240 pot
