With two World Poker Tour titles, over $2,000,000 in live poker tournament winnings, there was only one thing missing in David Benyamine’s poker career—a World Series of Poker bracelet. Finally, Benyamine puts his critics to rest by winning his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the 2008 $10K Omaha Hi/Lo Split event.
No stranger to the WSOP, Benyamine had to settle for three WSOP final tables and two top 15 finishes in the past. This year, however, is a different story as he dominated a final table full of poker pros to win the $535,687 first place prize. This win edged Benyamine in second place at the 2008 WSOP Player of the Year standings.
Poker aficionados have been calling the 2008 WSOP the “Year of the Pros.” True to form, the final table of Event # 34 was graced with luminaries Mike Matusow, Toto Leonidas, David Chiu and Tony Ma. When the dust cleared, Benyamine found himself with a 3-to-1 chip advantage against Greg Jamison in heads up play.
