Message: [QUOTE="N.D., post: 826753, member: 30036"] Underdog? Underdog??? In the very first WPT I ever watched(just didn't realize poker would or could be on of all things, The Travel Channel), David Benyamine finished 1st in a tournament that's no longer on the WPT due to some silly French laws(but I'm in the US where we have silly laws too). Anyway, he finished 1st in the 2003 Grand Prix de Paris. He was surrounded by a tough field and came out on top... Now he still does very well. I can't fathom how he's an underdog. He's doing well and seems to get respect from his peers as well as the public(save for occasional jokes about his waistline). Oh and I only remember that one win because like I said it was the very first time I ever saw a WPT event(televised still counts), and it was the first time I saw someone bet in the dark too. As I recall it was Mr. Gambly, Erick Lindgren who did that. I thought it was a very strange thing to do at the time. [/QUOTE]
