Where in the world is David Benyamine? - Page 2 - Poker News

Its actually quite impressive what he is doing. He has never played in tournaments since he knows playing cash games is a better investment. And now he decides that maybe he should try to play a few during a year. The guy goes on to win one bracelet and is in the running to take down the Bellagio Cup. Having his cash games results in mind, the guy is a pretty good player. I remember like 3-4 years ago, Daniel Negreanu mentioned in some interview that Benyamine was probably regarded among the other players as the best player in the big game. Maybe he was right.

I guess this is a picture of David Benyamine NOT playing in a tournament more than 4 years ago??? Plus in 2003 he took down 1st place in the WPT Grand Prix de Paris

How can you not like Benyamine? He is French and is laughing in the face of the long lasting French tradition of folding too much.

Yes, I did go there and now I will hang my head in shame.

Would you please not post something unless you actually know what you're talking about? I've played against David in I don't know, maybe five tournaments in the last five years -- and I'm only a very occasional participant.
