Although it\u2019s played by millions every day, there are some players who stand out and have played the game at a much higher level than others. They are considered outliers in the sport. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best in the game &#8211; our top seven <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/uspokerkings.com\/blog\/famous-poker-players\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most famous poker players<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Bonomo_aka_ZeeJustin\"><\/span><strong>Justin Bonomo aka ZeeJustin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ZeeJustin is one of the most famous players of the modern poker game. Bonomo discovered poker as a teenager, but before that, he was very interested in the game Magic: The Gathering. This popular collectible card game influenced his playing style, helping him develop a strategy that has won him tournaments and a lot of money. According to his profile on the Hendon Mob website, the most extensive poker player database worldwide, his earnings come in at $53 million in cash winnings. Since 2016, he has won 18 major tournaments. This is one poker player you really don\u2019t want to face off against.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Doyle_Brunson_%E2%80%93_Texas_Dolly\"><\/span><strong>Doyle Brunson \u2013 Texas Dolly<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brunson is the professional poker player with the longest career. He\u2019s now 87 and retired, but he had a long run playing poker for more than half a century, and during that time, he garnered numerous accolades. For one, the Texas Dolly was the first-ever poker player to win $1 million in poker tournaments. Not only is Brunson a legend at the table, but he\u2019s also an acclaimed author who wrote several books on poker strategy, of which Super\/System: A Course in Power Poker has been said to revolutionize the game. He is also very vocal on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>. Brunson is an idol in the game and was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 1988.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phil_Ivey_%E2%80%93_The_Tiger_Woods_of_Poker\"><\/span><strong>Phil Ivey \u2013 The Tiger Woods of Poker<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes something special to be called the Tiger Woods of Poker. Ivey holds the world record for the most elite tournaments won. This is a player who combines talent, strategy, and tenacity in his gameplay. Ivey, who is now 44, began honing his poker skills by playing against his coworkers at a telemarketing firm in the 1990s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He cites his inspiration from players who made a living from poker. He would play poker for up to 15 hours a day and keep journals on players and the way they played, as well as hands and situations, all in a bid to finetune his game. His first major win was at the first Jack Binion World Poker Open, where he won $53,297. Ivey has had a long career filled with wins: He has won more than $31 million in live tournament winnings and 10 World <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> of Poker bracelets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Daniel_Negreanu_%E2%80%93_Kid_Poker\"><\/span><strong>Daniel Negreanu \u2013 Kid Poker<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t let the nickname fool you; there is nothing kid-like about the way Negreanu plays poker. He\u2019s third on the money list, amassing more than $42 million in cash winnings from poker. He is considered one of the biggest names in modern poker. It\u2019s all pretty ironic, considering Negreanu\u2019s start to the world of poker wasn\u2019t all that stellar until his big break in 1997 when he won two World Poker finals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Canadian has a reputation for deducing his opponent\u2019s cards, making him one of the most formidable players out there, and it\u2019s no wonder he is a fan favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stu_Ungar_%E2%80%93_The_Comeback_Kid\"><\/span><strong>Stu Ungar \u2013 The Comeback Kid<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ungar is one of the only two players who have won the World Series of Poker Main Event three times. This child prodigy won a local gin rummy tournament when he was only 10. When he won the World Series of Poker Main Event in 1980, he was the youngest player to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ungar really had a knack for the game of poker, but his run ended prematurely in November 1998 when he was found dead in his hotel room in Las Vegas from a heart condition related to his drug use. He was inducted posthumously into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phil_Hellmuth_Jr_%E2%80%93_The_Poker_Brat\"><\/span><strong>Phil Hellmuth Jr \u2013 The Poker Brat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many may have a love-hate relationship with Phil, it doesn\u2019t change the fact he\u2019s one of the best poker players out there. His laurels include 15 World Series of Poker bracelets, more than $24 million in tournament winnings, and being the only person to have won a World Series of Poker Main Event title in Las Vegas (1989) and a World Series of Poker Main Event in Europe (2012). He may be a little heavy-handed with the table antics, but he\u2019s a fine player who also doubles as an author, boasting several bestsellers to his name.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eric_Seidel\"><\/span><strong>Eric Seidel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seidel is one of the most talented players of the game, having won more than $37 million and eight World Series of Poker bracelets. He has also been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since beginning his career at the 1988 World Series of Poker Main Event, he has established himself as a major name in the poker game. He finished second in that competition, losing to Johnny Chan.
