In 2008, Benyamine began to devote more attention to tournament play and immediately found success. He made three final tables at the 2008 World Series of Poker and took home his first bracelet in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split ($535,687). The other two final tables were third in the Pot-Limit Omaha with Rebuys event ($316,307) and seventh in the No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball with Rebuys event ($58,990).
