David Benyamine's dominance of the PPPL4(TM) at least gave us an excuse to post pics of his super-cute ex all week.
Ok, so apparently if you’re a point leader going into final table play at the
PartyPoker Premier League IV, that means you get the most chips. That’s it. It’s not like your points carry over to the final table. To win the event itself, you still need to win your final table. Got it.
That’s bad news for Phil Laak. After nearly quintupling his career earnings by winning three heats for $32,000 a piece, and taking the chip lead to the final table, he was the first to bow out of play.
In the end, David Benyamine devoured the competition, winning the PPPL4TM and engorging himself in the $400,000 first place prize. Benyamine ate up his opponents chips and literally picked the bones of his competitors. “Some” might say the chips at the table were a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet to Benyamine.
Seriously though, Benymamine = one of the best.

Pictured: Daniel Negreanu not at the PPPL4, cause we haven't been there yet.
Ok, we still haven’t had a chance to head down to the
M Resort in
Las Vegas to watch the
PartyPoker Premier League IV. That’s on us. Our bad. We want to, but as Hootie once sang, “Tiiiiiime, why you punish me.”
No time.
Anyway, needing a win and a win only to stay alive for the final table, Daniel Negreanu won the final heat of the PPPL4TM on Wednesday. However, he’s still not guaranteed a spot at the final table (seems like if you win a heat you should be allowed in, but whatever). Instead, he now has to play the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran in a best two-out-of-three heads-up match, winner advancing to the final table.
Wtf, right?
Roland de Wolfe and Ian Frazier have to play the same heads-up match format with the winner advancing as well.
Ok, we just don’t get it. But if they’re happy, we’re happy. Locked into the final table and not requiring a sudden-death heads-up match are Phil Laak, David Benyamine, Giovanni Safina, and Luke Schwartz. They’ll be competing for a first place prize of we have no idea.

The heavyset fellow she used to date is second overall at the PPPL4(TM).
Phil Laak won another heat
TM of the
PartyPoker Premier League IV. This means he’s won all three heats he’s played, effectively going back-to-back-to-back
TM.
However, since we don’t understand the rules of this whole thing yet, he doesn’t exactly have a dominating point lead over David Benyamine, who he defeated heads-up en route to the aforementioned third heat win.
Laak’s win gives him 48 points to Benyamines 35 (see here), whatever that means. Doesn’t seem as dominating as someone who has won three heats, whatever they are worth, should have. You’d think after winning three heats, you’d have this thing sown up, right?
Anyway, we’re definitely heading down there tomorrow and will be on-hand for the final day on Thursday as well to make sense of it all.
Follow Tuesday’s quote unquote heat here.

David Benyamine in the news = pictures of Erica Schoenberg. So keep it up, Mr. B.
Not sure what’s going on here, but Phil Laak went back-to-backTM over the weekend, winning the first two heats, whatever that means, of the PartyPoker Premier League IV.
Laak banked another $32,000 for the win, meaning this weekend he like quintupled his career earnings.
The third heatTM of the PPPL4TM was won by David Benyamine, who like Laak greatly out-kicked his coverage in the girl department back when he was with Erica Schoenberg.
Overall, Laak leads everyone in points, which apparently you accumulate en route to eventually being the winner?
We might have to go to the M Resort in Las Vegas on Tuesday to investigate what the hell this whole PPPL4TM thing is.
In the meantime, try to make sense of it all here.

Is there a better looking 50 year-old than Jennifer Tilly? Anyone? Anyone?
We’re not sure what exactly this
PartyPoker Premier League IV is, but for some reason
the so-called poker media Poker News is covering it (and Tony G is sponsored by PartyPoker, and Tony G owns PokerNews…
heeeeeeeeey), and math math math there were three previous iterations of it, and it attracted some big names, so whatever. Slow news weekend.
Phil Laak won his first “heat” of it, whatever the fuck that means, securing 16 points that count towards something. He also won $32,000, almost tripling his career tournament earnings.
Kidding there (only slightly) but seriously, this is Laak’s biggest score since getting Jennifer Tilly to go out with him.
The spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran came in second and the gorgeous Yevgeniy Timoshenko came in third for 11 and 8 points respectively, whatever the significance of that may be.
Get a full recap here. More Laak and Tilly pics here.
