Pro David Benyamine is one of the biggest cash game heaters in recent memory, or perhaps ever, in online poker.

The pot-limit Omaha specialist is up more than $1.8 million on Full Tilt Poker in May alone, according to poker-king.com:

He apparently had a particularly juicy session where he won over $700k, beating players such as “Durrrr” and “Alstonprice” out of six figures each.

Prior to this session, Benyamine had been up a still-ridiculous $1.15 million in May over 18,302 hands (in the PLO games). This works out to an unbelievable $62.83 in profit for each hand that he has played so far in May. Markus Golser, “Ziigmund” and Cole South have all had spectacular months in the PLO games on Full Tilt Poker, but they are all still lagging seven figures behind Benyamine on the month.

Whole thing here.

The story goes on to estimate that he has won $5.3 million playing PLO since January of 2007.
