David Benyamine [Does Not] Wins WPT Bellagio Cup IV

EDITOR’S NOTE: This post was written when it looked like David Benyamine was on track to win the WPT Bellagio Cup IV. When we woke up this morning, it turns out he did not. However, we did not feel like writing a new post on 24 year-old online poker pro Mike Watson winning (who banked over $1.6M), so we’re just rolling with this.

David Benyamine is on a roll. A sweet, sticky, yummy, cinammon roll.

Having crushed multiple WSOP events and just missing out on WSOP Player of the Year, Benyamine continued a great ’08 by capturing his second WPT title with the Bellagio Cup IV. [Editor’s Note: Except he didn’t.]

Whether this lands him the Blue Diamond Almonds Bold Player of the Day is yet to be seen, but wethinks he deserves it. Hmmmm…a year supply of almonds.

Regardless, with a hot ass gf in Erica Schoenberg and another WPT title to solidify his status as one of the world’s top players, maybe we should consider gaining a few lbs ourselves.
