Seat 8: Christophe Benzimra - 465,000
He began playing EPT events back in Season 4 where he played Barcelona. Since then, Benzimra’s rarely missed an event, playing each that he could. He’s cashed in events at EPT Budapest and IPT San Remo, along with a couple of cashes in tournaments in his home country of France: Grand Prix de Paris and Partouche Poker Tour Main Event, both in 2009. In all, Benzimra has nearly €60,000 in live tournament earnings.
When asked about his play in this event, Benzrimra said, "I've been playing quite tight here, especially when we reached the last few tables because I really wanted to make the final table. But to me, poker is more about having fun than making money."
