i can confirm the validity of this story. when i went to the bellagio david benyamine had $20,500,000 in 1k chips sitting on the table. he had been playing for 3 weeks straight without sleep and had yet to cash out.

lol that's ridiculous, everyone knows he just had the one 20,500,000 plaque on the table. He won every single hand(100/100/30) so the dealers didn't need to make change in the pots.

how much money are those gamblers, such as Doyle, Daniel, Chip or Phil?

That is amazing run, if it is true.

Crazy!

Even if this is a typo and an extra zero was added it is still impressive. Daniel, before a recent loss if I am following along correctly, was +1M for the year in the same game.

From Barry Greenstein's website:

[ QUOTE ]

One day David was stuck several hundred thousand in the Big Game and had been playing for 24 hours when I entered the game. Twice he made comebacks and got close to even and then informed me that he was quitting soon. Each time he lost a big pot and then that plan was shot. After another 24 hours I was up $500,000 and David was down over a million and playing recklessly. I was determined to stay until David quit, although his stamina had become legendary. David went on a rush 60 hours into his session and, amazingly, got even. Most of his winning was at my expense, and I was now stuck $800,000. He looked at me with the innocence of a young child and said, "I think we have been playing too long and the other players have been alternating resting. We should quit." Apparently, he thought I wouldn't notice that the fact that he got even was the only reason he was saying this.

I like the way how greenstein uses the correct music on the player pages and the explanation. "Never my love" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I went by the Bellagio at like 6 am and Benyamine, Gus, Barry, Chip, Chau & Farha was playing the big game.

Yukon Brad played 50-100NL with the biggest amount of cash I've ever seen in real life and way over 100k in chips. He left a couple of minutes after I got there and shipped two full racks of black chips and a "handful" of 500 chips to Phil Laak.

There was also a 100-200NL game going, but I didn't recognize the players (over half were young asian kids anyhow). I'm fairly certain that Daniel Alaei's girlfriend was playing 25-50NL and Mickey Appleman was playing 50-100LHE. He's the coolest jewish hippie bum ever.

That was all the gossip I got from my pointless wonder around the Bellagio. I'm sure you were all dying to hear that.
