Paris native David Benyamine turned to poker after a back injury forced him to cut his successful professional tennis career short. He's a regular in the highest-stakes cash games in the world, both at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and online at Full Tilt Poker, where he can often be found sitting at $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha and $1,000-$2,000 H.O.R.S.E. cash games. Though Benyamine holds a World Poker Tour title from winning the 2003 Grand Prix de Paris, he's still in the hunt for his first WSOP bracelet. No stranger to a stacked final table, he most recently finished 7th in last week's $5,000 no-limit Deuce to Seven Draw event. Benyamine is as lucky in life as he is at the tables-- he's engaged to fellow poker professional Erica Schoenberg.
