Almost certainly Dan Bilzerian. But that shouldn't even be particularly special, because he is a rich guy who plays poker, not a guy who got rich playing poker.

- Tenoke 5y agoI believe he is a rich guy playing poker with other rich guys who play even worse so he's still made some money from it. That was at least the word in high-stakes poker circles back then.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoI thought it was an open secret that he laundered money his father embezzled via poker.
- serf 5y agoa bit more context for those that don't know the story (I didn't, and i'm into poker.) ( I don't know the info host nor their credibility, was just the top-most answer on google for 'Dan Bilzerian laundering') https://easy.poker/dan-bilzerian/ https://easy.poker/dan-bilzerian/
- VectorLock 5y agoMost famously known as that dude who had the gal to ask a police officer for a gun during the Las Vegas mass shooting.
- koolba 5y agoMisspelling “gall” for “gal” in that sentence is very confusing. Especially knowing Dan Bilzerian’s background!
- emerongi 5y agoDoubt it. Many decent poker players have moved into areas where they can make money off of rich guys. From my minimal research many years ago, nobody knew of Dan B.
- garbagetime 5y agoThere are games in which such players are not allowed to play.
- tedunangst 5y agoTo disambiguate, the question is who won, not who Dan is.
