[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu-5YTeb1Bk"]YouTube - Biggest Poker Pots #006 - Guy LaLiberte vs David Benyamine - Kd5d vs Ac8c[/url] This was a bad read by Bennyamine. The poker here wasn't particularly good, but it was still an interesting hand in illustrating bankroll disparity and showing how little one of the biggest pots in poker can be to a person with almost unlimited resources. To Guy Laliberte, a 1.2 million dollar pot is like playing the micros for many of us. It is just a tiny fraction of the bankroll that Laliberte can represent, whereas it is likely a fairly significant portion of Bennyamine's. As Doyle said when the proposition was made: "This (pot) represents one day in his life, and it represents your life". [/QUOTE]
