David plays online at Full Tilt Poker.
David "Raptor" Benefield is one of the most established and respected young players in the poker community today. Originally a Sit & Go professional, he experienced a level of success that few players ever achieve. Hungry for a different challenge, David made the decision to switch to ring games. He worked his way up from the smallest limits, learning the nuances of each level and then taking calculated shots until he was consistently winning at higher stakes. As a result of his achievements online, David was ready to make the move to the live tournament scene.
David made his first score on the live tournament scene at the 2007 WSOP, cashing in the $1.5K Six-Handed No-Limit Hold ‘em event. The following year, David turned in even more impressive results. During the 2008 WSOP, he demonstrated the diversity of his talent when he cashed in both a No-Limit Hold ‘em and a Pot-Limit Omaha event. Only days later, David made his biggest live tournament score to date when he went deep in the Main Event and earned more than $77K.
Away from the felt, David’s very interested in health and fitness. Besides regular workouts, he also practices yoga and studies Jiu Jitsu. In addition to his keen bankroll management skills in the poker setting, David is also involved in real estate investing. Rounding out his time away from the tables, he devotes a great deal of time to intense study of the game.
If you’d like to see David in action, look for him online at Full Tilt Poker.
