Event #37: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship

Congratulations to David Benyamine for taking out Event 37 - $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo World Championship. David was prominent for the majority of the tournament and once Mike Matusow was removed from the final table, David completely dominated. He was an unstoppable force that the other players simply couldn't match. This is David's first WSOP bracelet and he also pockets a handy $535,687 for his efforts. Congratulations David Benyamine!

Greg Jamison was just crippled in a hand that was two bet preflop and bet every street until the river. On the river Benyamine bet out and Jamison folded. After the hand Jamison is down to 160,000.

In a series of recent pots David Benyamine has been able to dismantle Greg Jamison one pot at a time. Benyamine has chipped away in a series of small pots where he has taken most of them down without a showdown. In the hands that went to showdown Benyamine is showing the goods. Jamison is down to under 300,000. This one could be all over very shortly.
