WSOP $5,000 No Limit Event
We’re playing the $5,000 No Limit today, and 620 players showed up. What a table I have. Phil Hellmuth is on my left, and David Benyamine is on my table as well. David is the biggest winner at the cash games thus far during the WSOP. David is a brilliant player who I used to play cash games with in France. I used to play with him in the 400/800, and obviously he has moved up and is one of the bigger players in the world today. He is ripping up the ‘big game’ to the tune of $20 million up for the week. This is the biggest swing I have ever heard of in the $4,000/8,000 game.

can't comment on exact figures, but david ran well first playing at bellagio 4k/8k mixed game. 20 mil seems excessive for one week, but not outside realm of possibility for his overall score. important also to keep in mind that in this game only limit portions are 4k/8k - this mixed game also includes nlhe, nl 2 to 7 single draw, nl A to 5 single draw, and plo, with exact mix depending players, but usually with 100k cap.

I saw who I believe was Benyamine playing someone headsup in Bobby's room Monday. It wasn't headsup the whole time but was shorthanded (3 or 4) for a while and then headsup for a while. I only glanced a couple times but the guy someone said was Benyamine had a ton of chips. Not too concrete, but gossip is gossip.

It seems with the NL/PL games mixed in 20M isn't entirely unlikely. Hasn't there been some big straight-NLHE going in there also when the mixed game wasn't going? (100/200 and 200/400?)

More interesting to know who the latest donators are. Must be some players taking shots at bigger limits now with the WSOP going. We need more gossip.
