David Benyamine won his first WSOP-bracelet in the precious Omaha hi-low World Championship tournament with a $10.000 buy-in. The former WPT-champion and winner of millions of dollars both online and in live cash games is a player that everyone respects.
He is a regular face in the biggest online cash-games at Full Tilt Poker as well as the legendary Big Game played in Las Vegas. He is known for his ability to play really long sessions and for his great skills in all the forms of poker.
Pot-limit Omaha has been his number 1. game for some time, and now he managed to snatch the title in pot-limit Omaha hi-low.
At the final table, Mike “the Mouth” Matusow was on a huge roller coaster ride - and he also showed it with big emotions. One of the most interesting hands was the one where Mikey threw his poker dice twice - both times it told him to Re-Raise - but he then folded his hand! Another one that caused some noise was when he thought the river card ended his tournament only to realize it actually gave him a flush to beat his opponents!
After Mike hit the end of his road in 5th place, Benyamine was just unstoppable - he got a nice rush of cards and after a short while, he had collected over half of all the chips in play into his own stack! Aggression combined with good cards let him cruise to victory easily after that.
Congratulation to David Benyamine!
