The first time I played with Tomer Benvenisti
I was playing 2/5 NL at the Mirage. It was being played 9 handed on a stud table. We had the 9 seat open, and eventually this mountain of a man took it. The guy in the 8 wasn't too small either. Fortunately, I was in the 5 seat, so I didn't get squished too much. But wow, it was a tight fit.
Anyway, this guy just looks so familiar, and is joking around with the regulars. I just couldn't figure out who it was. So I am staring at the dude, and he catches me, and I think "crap, that guy probably thinks I'm staring at him for being so fat", so I turn away and don't really look at him much more. About 10 hands later, I hear "Tomer, 40/80, Tomer". He racks up and leaves. Then I realized where I knew him. The end.

Re: The first time I played with Tomer Benvenisti
I played with him the first time I played that Bellagio $540 tourney - back when it was just twice a week - Maureen Feduziak and Suzie Issacs were there playing it too, I think.
I think the Bellagio $540 on Wed. was the place to spot a few quick TV stars back before they became daily. Can't say for sure anymore. I know management went out of their way to make sure Erik Pallidino got an alternate seat. RB

Vince [/ QUOTE ] Vince, I mean no disrespect to Tomer, but he is a very very large man. In fact, he may be the only person I've seen who's neck is wider than his head. Not sure what you are talking about with my idol. Tom

[ QUOTE ] that guy probably thinks I'm staring at him for being so fat", [/ QUOTE ] Yeah you meant no disrespect. I get it. Your idol is no longer posting here so I will retract that part of my statement. Vince

Re: The first time I played with Tomer Benvenisti
Tom are you jealous because people like my posts? Do you miss the limelight? I'm sorry but some are leaders and some are just followers. You are a follower. Now go follow your way back to your idol and tell him what a bad boy you were on 2+2. Maybe he will say good job and then you can think he likes you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: The first time I played with Tomer Benvenisti
Hey, I had a funny story. If you didn't want to read it, don't read it.
Not sure what this has to do with PP, other than the fact that I enjoy his posts and humor. The fact that you call him my idol is laughable. I Carlos Mencia my idol because I enjoy watching his show?
