World’s Best Poker Players
More than once, I have been asked, and more than once, I have read some experts' lists on the world's Best Poker Players. My own list contains 20 of them all, and I'll give you five of them.
First is Stu Ungar, but owing to the fact that he is dead, I will not go into details. After all, assuming you know your poker, then you know how great this guy was-I am referring to poker strength, not the vices that he took on.
Second would be Phil Hellmuth, and in YOUR OWN LIST, if this guy is not among the world's Best Poker Players, then it must be a grocery list that you have there, no offense. At the age of 24, he became the youngest World champion (akin to Garry Kasparov of chess world).
Third would be Daniel Negreanu- Card Player magazine gave him the accolades of being "Player of the year"- which is not a thing to belittle. Negreanu already has at least 30 competition victories, and many of them are contests where the very best joined in.
Fourth in my list of world's Best Poker Players would be Esfandiary - by profession a magician, he could boast of 3 WPT finals under his belt.
Last but not least would be Hansen- one of the most aggressive combatants of the game, he has already won 3 WPT contests.Social Bookmarking
