Why is this "He does not even have cheese," and not "There is not even any cheese"?

peynir is cheese and peyniri has the possessive -i. that's why it means his/her cheese
when you use var/yok with possessive endings (my, your, his/her...) they mean 'have/has'

I guess this is as if you said:
(onun) peyniri bile yok.
genitive (onun) - possessive (peyniri) - construction
for Turkish 'there is' (var) respectively 'there is not' (yok)
