Ted was the 2006 NBC’s National Heads-up Poker Champion after beating Chris Ferguson in the final. He’s a very well-known high stakes gambler, which he showed during two seasons of High Stakes Poker and by many, many proposition bets. Forrest is also considered as one of the best Stud players in the whole world. His first three World Series of Poker Bracelets were stolen. You maybe wonder why Ted Forrest is so low ranked in my list, well I could give you an answer to that question. I just can’t stand the guy in total, his face, his manner or his accent, just everything about this fellow makes me feel uncomfortable. I mean, the guy has 4 nicknames . I know I’m not the only one who thinks that about him. We aren’t his biggest fan, and never will be.

Before playing poker, Elky was already an online game star as he was one of the top ranked Starcraft players. He even moved to South Korea for a while to play it full time and gaining a lot of fans and prestige. Bertrand made several final tables at the WPT and EPT. Besides his live poker achievements, Grospellier is very well-known as a big online gun. He was the first person ever to reach the Supernova and Supernova Elite status on PokerStars. Elky also made the Guinness World Book of Records with his exceptional performance for playing the most single Sit and Go’s in 1 hour, namely 62.

Mike was a gymnast first and he holds a degree in public recreation. He was also a former paratrooper in the U.S. Army. Sexton was a good and close friend of the great pokerlegend Stu Ungar, but Mike is mostly famous for his promotion of poker events. He’s the main host and commentator, besides Vince Van Patten, of the World Poker Tour (WPT). Mike is also a spokesman for PartyPoker.com and National League of Poker. In 2006, Sexton won the WSOP Tournament of Champions after beating Daniel Negreanu heads-up. He donated then half of his $ 1,000,000 prize money to several charities, and plans to do the same in the future.

So people, that was that for today. It’s time for dinner now , I guess I deserve that but maybe Ted ‘Spooky’ Forrest will think otherwise about that . Com’on , the guy has 4 nicknames, do I really have to say more ? Well bye for now and see you next time for sure !
