High stakes news are mostly about big swings and big pots, where hundreds of thousands of dollars change owners with one click of the mouse. That is not to say there are no interesting things happening in the countless number of smaller pots that are played every day. Last week Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond made this nice little soul read on David "MR B 2 U SON" Benyamine in a heads up game of $500/$1000 HA at Full Tilt Poker.
Galfond started the hand with a stack of $100,500, Benyamine had $142,085 and the game is PL Hold'em.
Preflop action: Galfond raises to $3,000 on the button, Benyamine calls.
Flop Ad 7s 4h ($6,000 in the pot). Benyamine checks, Galfond bets $4,200, Benyamine calls.
Turn Kh ($14,400 in the pot). Both players check.
River Qs ($14,400 in the pot). Benyamine bets $12,000, Galfond uses his time bank and finally calls.
Benyamine shows 6h 5s for a busted straight draw, Galfond shows 9s 6d and takes the $38,399.50 pot with just nine high. OMG!

how is that a soul read lol
there is no way he could have thought that he had the best hand, he probably just wanted to see what he had
So you think he paid 12k to find out what DB had in a 14,4k pot? Just a good call.
soul read in online poker...give me a Fn break...he probably misclicked
