Smarx Starts Off 2008 With A $207K Pot On Full Tilt Poker!
The biggest hand of 2008 has already been played today on Full Tilt Poker. A player that uses the alias smarx won a $207k pot against David Benyamine when he got one lucky river card. Benyamine had pushed smarx all-in after making a straight on the turn, which smarx called with just 2 pair, a flush draw and some awful straight draws. Unfortunately for Benyamine, the river came a Jack of clubs completing smarx’s flush.
If anyone knows who is smarx on Full Tilt Poker, please post a comment.
