It’s a Thursday morning in Las Vegas, and David Benyamine is splashing around in his bathtub. I reach him via telephone, and he tells me he’s got the jacuzzi jets going.

The information conjures mental images that I’d rather not contemplate, but you can’t blame him for multi-tasking when you consider the rush that the French-born high-stakes cash-game specialist has been on lately.

According to highstakesdb.com, during March he snagged more than $1 million on Full Tilt’s pot-limit Omaha games. Considering that Benyamine has had his ups and downs – in the pit and at the poker table – it would make sense for him to spend every waking hour riding out his current wave of good fortune.
