Player Bio

  • Benyamine plays regularly in some of the highest-stakes cash poker games in the world.
  • David aspired to be a professional tennis player and had the talent to succeed at one point. However, a painful back injury forced him to take up other competitive pursuits.
  • After retiring from professional tennis, Benyamine focused largely on shooting pool and eventually became one of the best pocket billiards players in France.
  • When asked about his toughest opponent at this final table, Benyamine jokingly answered, "Myself, and the deck."
