As in any major sports, Poker has players who have earned a special place for their trajectory, consistency and excellent game. Here is a list of the most famous male poker players.
Phil Ivey
Possibly the best known and most fearsome poker player on the international scene. He’s a great tournament player, but maybe even a better cash game. He is nicknamed the “Tiger Woods of poker”. Its alias is “No Home Jerome”. It has 8 WSOP bracelets and a WPT title. Accumulate almost $ 14 million in tournaments, and possibly multiply by 3 or 4 that amount for his feats in cash games. It is in my opinion the best poker player in the world.
Daniel Negreanu
He is one of the best poker players, probably the best in the world in tournaments, at least he has the most money in tournaments, with his nearly 15 million dollars. His great quality is to me his reading ability. “Kid Poker” is his alias. He has won 4 WSOP bracelets and two WPT championships.
Michael Mizrachi
In third place appears “The Grinder”. He is not a well-known poker player, as he owns a single WSOP bracelet that he won at the 2010 WSOP “Poker Player Championship” $ 50,000 (buy-in). That same year 2010 reached the final table of the Main Event finishing in 5th place. It also has two WPT titles. And its profits exceed 10 million dollars.
John Juanda
John Juanda, is one of the most respectable poker players on the world. Highlights in tournament but has very good mood also for cash games. He is a serious player, very calculating and very effective. It has 4 WSOP bracelets among which stands out the 2008 WSOP Europe. It exceeds the 11 million dollars in prizes.
Gus Hansen
The Danish “The Great Dane”, his alias, is one of the most fun poker players to watch in action. It stands out for its aggressiveness. And as he says: “play the player, not the cards”. He is one of only two owners of 3 WPT titles. Its weakness is the cash games, which do not go as well as the tournaments, and in which it accumulates large losses.
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel is a poker myth. He is a member of the Poker Hall of Fame. He has eight WSOP bracelets and a WPT. And he has won more than 10 million dollars in tournaments. He is a good observer, he plays calmly, with a lot of temper and head.
Allen Cunningham
Allen Cunningham is a rock playing poker. It is an example of concentration and analysis of the game. It is seen in his eyes that nothing is overlooked. This excellent player is holder of 5 WSOP bracelets. And almost reaches the 10 million dollars in prizes.
Bertrand Grospellier
Bertrand “ELKY” Grospellier is a new French poker player. He is not yet 30 years old and already has over 6 million euros in his account. It has two EPT titles and a WPT title. Aim for a spectacular future.
Jason Mercier
Our last player, a young promise of 24 years, already has behind him a WPT title and another EPT. Totaling more than 5 million dollars in prizes. He is not afraid of anything, his game is spectacular, and his future even more.
