guys seriously

say you're playing in a 20/40 (maybe 10/20??) blind game with $1000 cap per hand. is it possible to win 200k in a week playing LIVE? no effin way!!!

oh yeah these are mostly the best players in the world you're playing against btw

they play bigger than 4k-8k when the wsop is going on, ppl

gp, how big do they play? one would think that tonyg would be pretty precise if they were playing bigger and note that.

all, even if a lot of it comes from the pl or nl sections of the game, we're talking he'd have to run totally sick hot. i too call bs on this one. we're talking about getting it in for the maximum (assuming heads up pots) 200 times more than he got it in and lost. or of course the "equally" likely idea that he is up a gillion bets at the limit section.

come on, there's no way in hell he's up that much. it even takes a significant amount of time to go up 10 million playing heads up 100/200k or whatever apparently, so yeah. wtf people.

Lot of haters here.
If he won this much, honestly good effin job.

In April when I was out in LA during the LAPC the big gossip was that Benyamine was stuck over 10M in the big game that week.

They're doubting the rumor, not Benjamin's ability.

I agree retire from poker. There is savings accounts with 5% interest right now, so he could take that $20,000,000 and draw a nice living with a $1,000,000 in yearly interest! Or is $83,333 a month not a good living?

I don't believe this is true.

There was an episode of The Circuit where someone (Matusow?) did say that Benyamine was winning a lot.

But $20M is implausible.

Two nights ago in Bobby's Room a NLHE game was going with 100/200/300 blinds no cap. Not sure if David was in it but its not just 4k/8k.
