. Benyamine made one last bet that Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, called. Benyamine turned over

Bellande and Matusow's Betting Party
Jean-Robert Bellande has offered up a $2,000 last-longer bet to anyone in the field and immediately got a few takers. First, Scott Clements bet with him, then Mike Matusow took it and finally Allen Kessler. Matusow then took Kessler against Bellande, who had himself, for a price of two-to-one on $2,000. After that, Matusow took Clements against Bellande for even money on $2,000. Matusow also has a bet with Clements for $10,000 according to him in a last longer. These guys just bleed gamble.
Pinoy Pride
Toto Leonidas has turned up in today's field, but so far he hasn't been able to gain much traction. He raised pre-flop in a recent hand and was called by the button, by small blind Matt Glantz and by big blind Freddy Deeb. Glantz made a strong lead-out bet on a flop of

Straddles?
Sorel Mizzi asked is his table wanted to do a round of straddles when he got to the under-the-gun position. "You're ready to do anything," responded George Lind.
"The best shot I got is to increase variance," said Mizzi.
Overheard at the Tables
* "Does anyone have a joint?" came a question from a table near the rail. Hands immediately shot up at several nearby tables.
* "I'm such a nit," Tom Dwan tried to convince Barry Greenstein.
* Howard Lederer is trying to fashion a prop bet at his table for the over/under on the number of players (other than the guy who did it today, sorry if that wasn't clear) in the history of major league baseball who have hit a grand slam on their first patch in the big leagues. We're not sure if Lederer is aware that, according to certain MLB stat-tracking services, the answer is 1.
* Mike Sexton and Jean Robert Bellande are loudly continuing their prop-bet discussion. Matt Savage, sitting on JRB's right, has his headphones on and says he can't turn up the music loud enough to drown out the chatter.
