David Benyamine among the leaders of the $10,000 Stud Hi-Lo Championship It was bound to happen during one of these smaller buyin tournaments, the field would decimate itself so quickly they would actually make the money on Day 1.

It wasn’t surprising that Sunday was a more laid back day in the term of historic events but we still saw another huge field with the latest $1,000 No Limit Hold’em tournament. 3,175 players entered and they imploded their chipstacks to where the field is almost in the money on Day 1. It won’t take [...]

Heads Up: David Benyamine Versus David Singer

One Angry Monkey — Thu, 22 May 2008 12:52:09 +0000

Most of the matches so far in the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge have been David versus Goliath situations – not today. This time we’ve got a David versus David match-up, as 5 seed David “The only Frenchman on earth that I’m actually jealous of” Benyamine takes on 12 seed David “Not a real singer” Singer. At first glance it appears this should be an easy victory for the Frenchman, but Singer could prove to be a tough opponent. Do we have another upset brewing? Only time will tell. And me. Because I get to decide who wins and loses. So, in a way, I’m more powerful than time itself. It’s just the first in a long line of steps leading me to a god-like status. Wow, we better get this match started before my delusions of grandeur start gaining power. On to the showdown:
