World's Greatest Poker Players

Featured Poker Greats

Johnny Moss

Backed by World Series of Champion creator and his long-time friend Benny Binion, legendary poker player Johnny Moss made what was the single-biggest poker payday in history. He bled prominent gambler, Nick "The Greek" Dandalos, himself legendary for making astronomical wagers in the Las Vegas casinos, out of a reported $4 million.

Amarillo Slim Preston

Sporting a bona fide cowboy look complete with the word "SLIM" stitched down each side of his cowboy boots, Amarillo Slim Preston is no doubt the personification of Texas Hold'em and practically the founder of this world-famous poker game. He made appearances on the Tonight Show eleven times, helping put tournament poker on the map.

T J Cloutier

One year in tournament poker history, T J Cloutier flopped three straight flushes holding the J-9 of clubs. If a no limit Hold'em player's two hole cards happened to be the J-9 of clubs, it would since be called a "T J Cloutier". You just know that you are an all-time legendary Texas Hold'em player when a starting hand becomes named after you.

Johnny Chan

In the year 1988 in which top poker player Erik Seidel was poised to become the World Poker Champion, 1987 champion Johnny Chan rocked the world of tournament poker like no one before him by stealing the thunder in a hand now immortalized in the movie "Rounders". This back-to-back champion is all-time first in money won at the WSOP.
