The Cash Games.
The big news this weekend in the cash games is all about Patrick Antonius and his new $2,000/$4,000 H.O.R.S.E and Omaha Hi/lo tables on Full Tilt. These two tables have seen some monster action over the weekend, with Antonius managing to run up a $720,000 stack on his private Omaha hi/lo table – for a total profit of over $500,000.
The other big winner in these games has been the Great Dane himself - Gus Hansen. Hansen has made over $1,000,000 in these games over the weekend, including an $800,000 profit from just one H.O.R.S.E session. Hansen had been one of the big losers in the PLO games in the last few months – hopefully the new action on these tables will get him out of the red.
The big losers in these games seem to be David Benyamine and PLO sensation "ICallSoWhat", who both seem to have lost decent amounts. David Benyamine is probably relatively unconcerned, as he posted $600,000 wins on the PLO tables over the weekend.
It will be interesting to see if these new tables will start to bring the biggest action online. Hold’em and Omaha have dominated for so long that it might just be time for the other games to have their turn. Watch this space.
