Phil Galfond, aka OMGClayAiken.
By Sean Lind
This probably won't come as a surprise to anyone, but players such as David Benyamine and OMGClayAiken are playing high-stakes PLO and NL Hold'em online.
It may seem sick that after playing WSOP tournaments and cash side games all day, these boys go home at 3 a.m. and dump hundreds of thousands of dollars into play online. But that's life as a degenerate.
Here's the biggest hand of the session:
TABLE : Pantheon (six-max) $200/$400 - Pot-Limit Omaha Hi - Sat Jun 28 2008 - 2:52am ET
Table Setup
Seat 1: patatino ($101,953)

At the same time, Galfond was also playing Benyamine and Whitelime on the $200/$400 NL Hold'em tables. OMGClayAiken won himself $100,000 in Hold'em six minutes after losing this pot. The swings these guys take in a few minutes are larger than some people's lifetime earnings.
